I think someone tried it, but was too scared to turn try access it.
I see no reason why it shouldn't.

I've created an adpater using strip board (veroboard). Works fine.
I've put the design on a web page for anyone who wants to make their own.

You inspired me!
All recycled parts from other projects...
- USB cable from a broken camera card reader
- Springy connectors from a broken xbox controller memory card jack
- A 27 ohm surface mount resistor yanked from the xbox controller PCB
- PCB from the broken xbox controller cut and "milled" for each strip:
Works like a charm!

Will a 1/2W 47 0hm resistor work instead of a 33 or 27 Ohm resistor?

I've got the Datel X360 and Xbox card readers, and trying to use them in Windows XP-64, unfortunately the drivers aren't compatible. Anyone got any ideas as to how to get the X360 one in particular to work in XPx64? (The Xbox one I can just read over FTP from my Xbox so it's no biggy).

Hey guys. I started ripping up my 2nd mem card because it was supplied by the beast itself to me. well what i did was remove the mem chip all together and make the 360 mem connector run straight to standard 4-pin USB female. i knew this wouldn't work before i started, but i thought it worth a shot so i can test all this crap we're trying on my own. anway, when i plug in the mem card with no USB connected into the 360 mem card port, nothing happens. when i connect a USB stick to that, however, the system rechecks itself. of course, it doesn't find anything since i haven't figured out how to get that damned security chip over to my side yet.
i was wondering if anyone had tried piggybacking a USB off of the main mem card chip... i doubt it'd work, but basically just run a usb pinout to female off of the internal connectors of the mem card on top of how they're already connected to the board.
anybody tried that one yet?

so i tried my earlier suggestion. of course, it didn't work. i hook my mem card up to my pc to use boxplorer through one of those mem card to usb things you see in the stores to download content (yes they exist as mem to usb) and using the 1.1 drivers the mem card works fine. once i add the usb cable piggybacking off the existing connections, the system no longer reads it. the xbox 360 does the same thing it did before: it reloads the devices to look for changes when you plug/unplug the mem card, but it never finds the card. when i desolder the usb cable everything is normal again.
i damn thee, security chip; i damn thee straight to hell.

and another thing is it possible to change the file system from my memory stick form
fat32 to fatx so that my xbox 360 would reconice it as memory unit and let is save games on it???

You can already change the filesystem. Its the sercurity chip that is getting in the way. I have been meaning to see if there is a a way i can take the security chip off the memory card and put it in a flash drive or jsut upgrade the memory in the 360s memory card. I have been very busy with school and this 360sata stuff though. I will let everybody know though if i find the time to figure out anything.

i'm assuming the security chip, which, by the way, i hate, is the silver eliptical one? is that right? i was wondering since there's also a similar chip in both the wireless and the wired controller.

ok you know that silver chip? in the controllers it's eliptical. it's also tagged with "24.000" somewhere on each of the silver chips. at first i thought crystal since it's a 2.4ghz system, but that doesn't make any sense why it'd be in the wired and the mem card. that's why i figured this was the security chip. upon further investigation i learned that there is the same chip labele "24.000" inside of a device called the "medusa," which is a unit hidden under the 360 through which the xbox 360 is controlled in store displays. it only has 2 contact points. if anyone has any ideas or thinks this could help, i may have come across an extra medusa.

M$ is greedy and I can't stand it. It pisses me off beyond words that since I didn't want the HD because I only plan on storing game saves, I am almost forced to get the HD since I can't use my own personal usb flash drive. M$'s too worried about people finding holes in their system to allow the consumer to have options.

USB ports are programmed for READ-ONLY, so memory saving will never work on the 360 via the USB
ports.

That doesn't make sense, USB is just a way to send and recieve data. If they made it impossible for the USB to send any data then nothing would work since even the most basic device needs to be sent information to work.

i was just starting to make my own adapter and was wondering if i could use a female usb plug straight to the memory card just to make connections easier.
and by the way this is some great stuff here alot better than paying extra for stuff that i should i have already been able to receive with the cost of the system but i guess thats M$.

If this is the case, how is one with a wired controler, with a memory card able to save? It has to go trough the USB
An even if this is true, then im sure someone will find a way to plug a USB drive into a controller instead maybe
M$ will be owned.....they can't always be so greedy!
