    This file is for alpha development kits ONLY. It should not run on your beta or retail kits, but even if it did, it wouldn't work.

    These files are backed up from my personal disks, and have been verified to work fine. The dumps are all 1:1, and of course include the boot sector needed to actually boot the files on the alpha development kits. Tons of early samples are included, and early tools like xbexplorer, which should help your fiddling, especially if you are looking to make your own alpha kit.

    You can find video of it in action here : http://ptoponline.com/?p=573

    Feel free to thank kl0wn as well!

    FYI, this ran on my "Alpha like" hardware without any hardware or software Hacks. P3, VC820 Motherboard, 128mb of memory and a NV20 Geforce 3 Ti 200

    I know this is gravedigging mate (sorry) but recently aquired an Alpha 1 Kit. It has a recovery and works wonderful but I would like this just in case, so thank you, but would it work for an a
    Alpha 1? I know the most common are Alpha 2 Kits.

    Yes. Just attach another HDD when tinkering with different recovery versions & games. Alpha 1 to 2's were just CPU and video card upgrades and some added the missing sound cards. You may have an Alpha I that was already upgraded to Alpha II specs.
