Hi guys this is a tutorial I made on how to make a Serial EEPROM Reader and Writer to Backup you Xbox EEPROM, which contains MacAddress details, HDD key and Live Key (Now Redundant).

Total cost to make one of these is under $10, total time to make one is around 10 minutes.

This is kind of a Part 1 to a series on modding the Original Xbox console, the other videos will be tutorials on:

How to dump EEPROM From the console
How to Soft mod
How to TSOP
How to Upgrade the RAM
and a whole bunch more!
