It's actually quite easy to swap cases on the Xbox 1. If you have experience in building PCs you should be comfortable enough to do it. It's easier than doing it to a 360 which is also not that hard.

I've just started work on the GBA1000 board that I got from ClusterUK, who got it from mmtremors.

Agnes fitted, damaged cap replaced, 680EC30 replaced with full fat 030, quick check and power up and... Works first time!

Things to do: fit missing components for flicker fixer (specifically the memory needed, which is coming from a dead 3000 motherboard), fit part for the IDE interface, get a load of switches for the various unlabelled jumpers , and make an 8-pin DIN to VGA cable

Very, very, very cool bit of hardware.

And then work out how to get the Picasso II into the machine!

@fatbob_gb

Very jealous!

Of course, I only ordered mine 1 year and 2 months ago, so I haven't been waiting nearly as long. I'm super excited! Maybe I'll have mine next month.

hi gehtjanx

if you want a modded xbox to stick in your hopefully still good case, for free (just postage) I'll post it on recycle a little later. no HD, just the unit.

i warn you it works but the case is totally knackered due to my clumsy mod to get air round the HD I added - it ran hot so I cut a whopping big triangle out of the case.

but if you're adding your own case, no matter.

pm me if you want it, eta for postage £7 or thereabouts.

HOLY DO-DO ON A STICK!

It's finally here?! So how long is that waiting list again? . . . :wooha:

Hello,

@ tokyoracer:

@Bootay:

I just got this on evilbay:

• Dataflyer Plus SCSI + IDE Card
• A2088 Bridgeboard
• A2090 Hard drive controller
• Microbotics HardFrame SCSI controller (no hard drive included)
• A2058 8mb ram card with 2mb installed

There is also a defect Microbotics 8 Up! 8mb ram card with 2mb installed (displays red boot error screen) include in the deal.

Red boot is bad ram I think?

With this and the A2000 mobo that I got earlier I'm almost ready for my Franken2k project.

I'm planning to build a plexiglass case for it with a custom paint job. I'll post pics when I have all the parts.

 

[rkauer]

Red screen is defective board (the screen namely points the defective board).

Or a pure red screen (nothing more showing) means bad ROM.

 

[Tuxon86]

Red screen is defective board.

Oh well...

It will go in the recycle bin here when I receive it. If someone can do some magic and bring it back to life then he can keep it or trade it or....

 

[rkauer]

Interested when you decide to recycle it!

It is the DIP version? Comes populated?

Maybe it's just a matter of sacking the RAM chips and start to populate it and move jumpers accordingly.

I'll keep you inform when I receive it.

It's a DIP card with 2meg on it.

I'll check first if it isn't just a lost or misplace jumper config. But if I can't make it work I'll pass it to you. I won an A2058 memory board with 2mb on it (max. 8 ) in the same deal so I can make do for my project.

I also have an extra A1000 in the mail. This one I got from the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. Don't know yet what I'm going to do with this one since I already have 2 of those.

LOL I found the problem with the 8Up! card.
About half of the memory chip are missing on it, hence the red screen...

Half the chip are missing in bank A1 and half+1 chip is missing in bank A2.

I guess once I install the chip correctly and in the right amount the board will work.

few purchases;

OpalVision in original box, with original disks and manuals...


few external SCSI dives (HDD and CD-ROM)

Today's post contained:

1x 74F521 Octal comparator chip... One of the final bits for the GBA1000 board .

**IT LIVES***!

Hi,

Wow, cool :wooha:

Where do you got this stuff from , if I'm allowed to ask?

Have CD32 and Sega Saturn too, but no saturn cable, but I think it's working as an audio CD get's played (I just hear CD drive is spinning).
