Probutus released a new version of specially adapted Slax PC linux-bootdisc that allows you to switch the Xbox360 Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L DVD-drive to mode-b without connectivity kit (crossed-wire trick), so you can flash the DVD FW and dump discs in Windows:

ime for an update ;) Since Kernel 2.6.18 is out and the SATA subsystem got improved I gave it a try and implemented SATA support for the slax disc. To avoid confusion we now have a versionning scheme:

Here is a list of improvements:
1) plscsi and modeb command now integrated in baseimage (no dvd_base-mo package needed anymore)
2) usb and sata->pata adapter works as usual
3) modeb-cdb now integrated into generic scsi driver (which is used by libata)

Since I can't get my drive out of my box anymore (please dont ask... ;)) I have not been able to test it. If you have problems please PM me your dmesg output that I can help.

TO AVOID confusion: There are some sata-raid controllers out (e.g. sil 3112 and 3114) which do not support sata-atapi drives so please check if your controller supports atapi devices before complaining
