CD recording possible on Xbox, using IDE>USB converter

Max_TMP spotted that the Gentoox
website has posted some information on Microsoft's Xbox burning a CD. It's
no secret that the game console can be modded to run virtually anything,
like for instance the Linux operating system. Gentoox is an example of a Linux
distro.


The Gentoox website
doesn't mention a lot of information on how the disc was burned, only that it
was done with an Xbox running Gentoox, an USB CD-recorder and by using
an IDE to USB converter. Gentoox has posted the following log information:
