Thanks to my buddy Gomez for this info. I'm interested in transfering game data from my original Xbox to the Xbox 360.
For example, the Halo 2 single player game that I finished is stored in the profile on the original Xbox. When I fire up the 360, it obviously doesn't know I've finished the single player campaign, so I'm back at the beginning.
The Xplorer360 software lets you transfer game data off the old memory card, onto your PC, then onto the new memory card. After a brief read tonight, it looks like you have to crack open the new memory card and solder something onto it. We'll see about that...
360GameSaves.com (Xplorer360)
Here is another option. The transfer kit that's commercially available. Looks like $14.95 - am I reading this right? This one looks like it comes with an adapter for each of the memory card form factors (old and new), each of which connect to your PC via USB. Comes with Xchange 360 software - confused on whether it's best to use that included software or the Xplorer360 software shown above.

Okay, quick bullet point rundown of what I know:
1) If you use the Datel transfer kit, you can copy game saves from your Xbox memory card to pc or your Xbox 360 memory card to PC (hereafter: 'Xbox', '360', 'Xbox card' & '360 card').
2) No matter what you do, if you put an Xbox save on a 360 card, the 360 will not copy it onto its hard drive or use it in any way.
3) The trick is also to get Datel's XSATA device, which plugs into the hard drive somehow (apparently, no cracking open, no soldering) and lets you browse the 360 drive directly. The idea is go this order: Transfer Kit from Xbox card to PC, then PC to 360 HD with XSATA.
4) No one has posted any kind of credible tutorial proving that #3 works.
5) Xplorer 360 is HIGHLY preferred over Datel's stuff. Over and over I read "DO NOT INSTALL DATEL SOFTWARE!" Reason is: Datel software uses some drivers that treats your memory card as an abstract device much like the Xbox and 360 do. Xplorer 360 treats it like a USB device which means raw view into filesystem. Apparently this is _vital_ if you want to transfer Xbox saves to 360.
