[Cialug] More on the XBox

[Jeff Chapin]

I might end up seeing if we could arrange for you to mail it to me -- I
live in CF and the odds that I can make it to the event are slim to
none. There appears to be ways to get an IDE drive to work with an xbox
-- it just does not fit inside the case, but I can make due to install
off it.

I am also still poking around on buying a new drive.
