PS2 Sata Adapter Question

[HaloSlayer255]

Hello all,

I know that its possible to convert an IDE network adapter for the PS2 to use SATA hard drives.

Ive seen various listings over the years on ebay and amazon, has anyone had experience with this unit:

SATA Adapter Set For Genuine Sony PS2 PlayStation2 Hard Drive Network FMCB DIY 887988726814 | eBay

<ul> <li>Descriptions:</li> <li> <ul> <li>As we know, Sony PS2 network adapter only work with the IDE hard drivers, but the IDE hard drivers has been discontinued for many years, its very hard to find a new IDE in the market, it has been completely replaced by the SATA hard drivers...

Thanks psydefx,

From what I understand the PS2 can utilize at most a 2TB hard drive, correct?

 

[psydefx]

yes 2 tb. i use a 1tb and its plenty for all ps2 and psx (popstarter vcd) games

Thanks psydefx,

Looks like I've got another project lined up, still gotta dig out a v10 I have stored somewhere in my attic as per:

PS2 "Matrix PIC Fix" Hex

Apparently people are having issues finding this online and the only thing I can find myself is some guy selling it pre-programmed, so here are the files and some other V12 stuff you may be confused about (0805 package on summ0ne for ease of soldering)...
