    hi

    can anybody tell me if this beast

    http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1699339&CatId=3770

    will work for connecting an xbox 360 DVD drive to my computer that does not have motherboard sata to put the drive into mode 2

    I am aware there is already a compatibility list but i doubt it will list every single device ever made that is compatible

    thanks my children

    otherwise i'm buying a new mobo if i can't find a cheap adapter >_>

    Why not just spend $12 and get a Roswell SATA controller card that we all know works well. On Newegg the reviews even state that is works well for flashing 360 drives.

    Just make sure you have a PCMCIA port on your laptop. I bought so I can use my laptop and I thought I had this port but I don't. I'll sell you it if you need it. $15 shipped if you live in the US.
