VIA VT6421L Card UK?

[yamy125]

Hi everyone!

I bought my Xbox today...and there's an ms28 inside.
I don't really fancy doing the soldering, so i need to look for the VT6421L.
Does anyone know where i can find this card in the UK.
The eBay stores listed on http://www.360mods.net/Forums/viewtopic/t=155.html don't sell them anymore

Try your friendly neighbourhood Amazon;

go to www.amazon.co.uk and do a search for "Newdigital 3 PORT SATA SERIAL ATA + 1 ATA PCI CONTROLLER CARD "

Thanks for the link guys.

Is there any significant difference between the VT6421L and the VT6421A?

From what i've read, the only thing is VT6421A needs MTKFlash to have the port I/O’s hexedited.

Will VT6421A still work fine for the "bad-flash" of a MS28?

Both via chipsets need to be hexed to work with MTKflash. If you use xtreme boot maker it will do it for you. Both a and l versions will work for the ms28 bad flash.

So after reading the Tutorial by Textbook I know that you need a SATA connection in order to be able to flash your drive, but let me make sure I understand.... no matter if you have the Hitachi or Samsung drive, you might as well get a SATA card with a VIA 6421 chipset (if you don't have one on your MB)

I have an Intel 82801FR SATA controller on my MB, and i think this would've worked with the Samsung MS25. But i have an MS28, so i need the VIA controller.
