That
yellow
wire
I recommend
not cutting
the yellow
wire,
this way
you can
connect
your old
DVD-Rom
up to
it. I’m
not sure
why the
German
diagram
of the
yellow
wire was
backwards,
but using
your meter
you can
determine
the correct
order
of the
wires,
I reversed
it in
my diagram
as if
you are
staring
directly
into the
holes,
not the
behind
view.
What
I did
is cut
4 wires
(like
16 gauge
wire?
See the
green
one?)
and soldered
the tip
of it
to make
it stuff,
then shove
it into
each little
hole,
and some
tape to
hold it
all together,
you can
cut/slice/build
a connector,
be creative!
Connecting
the X
and Y
I used
30 gauge
wrapping
wire for
all connections
except
the power
to the
chip.
Same wire
you should
have used
while
chipping
your XBOX.
Run 2
wires
from the
X Signal,
1 to connect
to the
A Signal
of the
yellow
wire,
and 1
to connect
to pin
12 of
our NAND
gate.
The Y
signal
comes
out of
pin 11
of our
chip,
connect
it to
pin 1
and run
it into
the B
Signal
of the
yellow
wire.
The
other
pins
You should
be able
to figure
these
out from
the diagram
schematic.

You’re
on the
right
track
when it
starts
to look
like this.
The
W
Almost
forgot
about
our W.
Ok so
we got
the W
signal
wire hooked
up near
the chip,
we need
to connect
the C
Signal
from the
Yellow
wire to
the W.
In the
middle
of the
connection
we want
to take
our 4.7k
resistor
and connect
it to
the switch
in the
front.

You
can tell
the resistor
by its
color
code…
Yellow,
violet,
Red (4th
code is
tolerance…
Gold (5%)
is good)

Lets
test it
anyway,
4.63k,
close
enough
right
(1.5%,
its close)

That’s
the back
of the
switch…
I also
reversed
my diagram
of it
from the
German
version,
its as
if your
staring
using
this picture,
the one
on the
right.
Though
it probably
doesn’t
matter
which
side you
wire it
up to.
