apparently Gamestop and Xtravision are selling the xbox HD DVD drive with media center remote for 9.99

I dont have an optical drive, they are just too damned slow and awkward, but I might try grab one for that bit of occasional use. Maybe the sata/usb controller can be butchered into use for external hard drives. in any event, worth it for the remote?

are there any windows/linux drivers for the usb connection?

or is it esata?

still, not that great seeing as hddvd is dead
but if you have an xbox, nice
