Vga Pcb on beta kit?

[Tyler]

well, ive been meaning to post this for, about a year now, and i never really did so hear it goes.

on ebay a long while back, i came across a beta kit (b1 or b2 dont know)
evidently it was pulled, but that's besides the point.

you know those 2 sidecar wires that stick out of the top (maybe it was a beta 2 then since it was just the 2 wires)

there was a pcb unit with 2 vga extensions connected to the sidecar wires , i never got to save a pic,

recently i found out that stock xbox360 to vga wires, dont work on devs, but they do on retails.

can anyone shed some light on this pcb that was connected to the wires?

(Edit: just relized i posted in wrong section, sorry for the trouble)

The vga cables worked fine on my kit and they are almost identical kits....

[Tyler]

maybe its my pos monitor, it was giving some out of range error, you know what, it probably is because i tried it on 2 different kits, its weird that it would only work on my retail though.

I have those pics saved if you want them and there not vga,one of them is for kernel debugging,the other one I have no idea.

[Tyler]

yea actually if you can, and really, guess my memory isnt to sharp, but if you could post those pics that'd be great.

psshh well come on, it was a year ago, it kinda looks like it, i mean gimme a break.

well besides my misconception, anybody know anything abouht this, like were they on alot of beta 2's ?

Wow Tyler your monitor just doesn't support the res u have selected, I use VGA on my kit all the time man. And yeah those are serial, vga is like 15 pins man. I'm guessing those just do the same that the PIX and USB dvd ports do on a kit with a sidecar. Even though I don't think usb could emulate the dvd drive fast enough prob just used for debugging purposes.

Ahh that board brings a sparkle to my eye!

*sniff*

Also Tyler, it was only 3 months, since ebay pulled the auction

[Does_anyone]

Would anyone happen to have a PCB diagram of that?

[l_oliveira]

That's just a voltage level converter, not ?

From XBOX360 3.3v into RS232C levels (+12/-12v)....

You need a sidecar for dvd emulation

it can work for a demo kit, if the demo kit has the ports to add a sidecar, some have them, some don't, most have all but the power port.
