StarTech USB3 to IDE dongle
Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2014 6:15 pm
I've been thinking about modding an original XBOX, and would lile to load games off the HDD, since the DVD drive on those models tend to go tits up quick (had 3 OG xboxs die that way).
Obviously, the Xbox uses IDE connections to the console. Could the startech dongle allow me to copy ISOs off my comp via USB3 to write to an IDE drive? And does anybody know the size limit MS imposed on IDE HDDs for the console?
I'd love to soft-mod, but if anyone knows of an easy to install modchip, that'll perform better, please let me know.

My Xbox1, GC, DCm, and PS2 were stolen, along with all the games I owned. I never got to beat the majority of them, so this is my chance at a second hurrah (since NOBODY has an XBOX1 emulator out for the PC.)
