XBox-Linux-Project (http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/) have released version 0.1 for linux on the m$ xbox.  the system starts either from cdrom or the flashmemory. to boot linux from cd with the original bios, a modchip (http://www.xbox-scene.com/modchips.php) is needed.

With this, it should be pretty easy to have AmigaDE running on the X-Box. Which is always interesting  :-)

It would be also funny if someone could boot Berniethlon (Amithlon 2) on a Xbox :-D

Hehehe...now that you've mention it. If I ever get my hands on a SX32-Pro module I will just do that, unless someone else has already made it possible :-) Shouldn't be difficult, the CD32+SX32-Pro have the same hardware as the A1200 or even better :-D

The SX32 Pro (http://www.amiga-hardware.com/sx32pro.html) 030/50 model has one.
