General Haiku Discussion

why are you you so special?
hmm..
think of it..

Everyone around this forum is responsible in the making of one of the best OS to come (let us hope so).
No OS would have been made with such a support and healthy comments from the part of users.

Haiku supported the X-Box?

As many should now, the X-Box made by M$ Corp, is nothing but a disguised PC with more or less this setup:

P3 Class CPU Running at 733 Mhz (Supported in R5 for example)
NVidia Mobo (Supported as well in R5)
Graphics : NVidia Core between GF2 and GF3. (Supported as well)
Sound : NVidia Soundstorm based (AC97 Drivers already available).
LAN: NVidia LAN (Not supported AFAIK).
HDD: 10 Gb or more if using modchip\exploit.
Can use a Keyboard and Mouse (USB Ones) provided the special cables (around €7 each).

It costs around 180 Euros (I'm europen) and there are Linux Distros already for it and M$ can't do a shit about it as it does not use any kind of M$ code for it to run.

The booting process is done by 1 of 2 tricks:
-1st:
Taking advantage of a game exploit and using it to flash the TSOP (read bios) with Cromwell (Opensource Bios).
-2nd:
Using a modchip to do that. Modchips afaik are only illegal (and recently) in the UK.

Think about it...
What could prevent (legally or technically) Haiku to run on the X-Box?

And as the XBox 2 (aka Xenon or *insert your guessed name here) is coming on the next year or so... the current Xbox will rapidly be discontinued... and it's a nice way of using it.

Replys are Welcome.

I've got the basic networking setup. But is it normal behavior for the server code to only receive only one character at a time?

Where are some good networking programming sites and resources?

Thanks
