MY legacy Xbox has reach it shelf life for Xbox games, and not getting any commercial value for it or left it collect dust. Might as way, in some ways ti can be of good used, if I can get it working with Linux (xubuntu).

Before, sourcing it from oversea reseller (HK, ebay) for the above item, it would much affordable to get these accessories locally.
I'm look for local reseller who have the above Xbox accessories, in-order for me to have PS2 keyboard/mouse connected to Xbox to install/operate Linux.

Im also looking for the xbox component cable if u know where can I bet it .

As for USB converter , I believe I read long time ago , a DIY tutorial on how to make one.

I have found a website based in Hong Kong, and offer free delivery to Malaysia, for the above items (17.43 RM) but I have not place the order yet. You check to on the following link below.

I take you proposal as the last resort, if when the manufactures discontinue the production of the above item, mean while I found a supplier in Hong Kong is giving free delivery to Malaysia (the link was posted in this topic forum). Plus I may need two or more USB adapter.

humm, how to buy from that site.. i'm needing this adapter to connect ext HDD
to watch movies and such. The DIY is easy to make, but the problem is to get
a spare controller cable is quite hard, might as well buy that usb ready cable. rclxms.gif
