XBOX 360 SATA HDD Connector Update

We now have the HDD Connector in stock now. TIAO's HDD connector is not a simply cable or adapter, it is a fully functional HDD shell identical to the original ones from MS. See the attached picture. The retail price will be around USD $30. Adding the price of a WD1200BEVS, total will be under USD $100, compare to MS' price, you cannot ask more! Please check this page daily for stock update.

XBOX 360 SATA HDD Connector

Do you own a XBOX 360 Arcade? If you do, you may soon realize that you cannot play many games because of the limited space on your arcade. Without a hard drive, you cannot play HALO 3 or GEARS OF WAR. Without the hard drive, you cannot save demos, game trailers, movies, stream music, view pictures... you are missing a lot fun!

Unfortunately, a 120G HDD for xbox 360 will cost your $150! No kidding! A 120G notebook HDD only cost $45! What an expensive HDD!

Why don't we make a SATA to HDD connector for your arcade? Which allows you to connect a SATA notebook sata HDD to your arcade?

We are now in the process of designing the connector... a prototype will be made soon!

Stay tuned!

USBtiny ISP AVR Programmer

USBtiny is a software implementation of the USB low-speed protocol for the Atmel ATtiny/ATmega microcontrollers. [More info]

SP12 is a low cost AVR programmer. However it requires a parallel port. If your machine doesn't have a parallel port, then you cannot use SP12.

The USBtiny ISP AVR programmer is a very low cost AVR programmer works great with AVRDude, which is compatible with AVRStudio.

The firmware is open-source and released under GPL.

We are designing the PCB now. A prototype will be made soon!
