Because all the HOWTO's I read said you couldn't do a software hack on a 1.6b box which is what I got at Best Buy. > > I have 5 Xboxes running now all with Xebian, each runs very well with SD > video (forget HD). My suggestion would be to pick one up used, this is how I bought mine and thus did not have to stress as much about the version. Hi Shaun, I don't understand why buying used would eliminate the need to replace the BIOS? I'm getting the message both here and privately that I must use the Cromwell BIOS if I want a Linux only box. I think I'm probably far too confused and far too frustrated at this point to understand all the info I'm getting. I probably am getting it all wrong. Mainly I just want to thrown the thing away this morning and go sleep it off somewhere but my mod chip guy said he'd try to get the DuoX2 working again so I cannot turn down such a nice offer. I hope we can get Cromwell on there. That would be nice. None the less, with $250 into the project at this point I'd like to get what I already own working. I cannot afford to go in a new direction. Money's gone. Either it works or it dies. (Or I do!) ;-) Thanks, Mark _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
