    I have a USB hard drive which i link up to my pc, then to my ps2. I was wondering if there was a device where i could link up the Hard drive to a switching unit, and choose between pc and ps2. Suppose its similar to a scart box??


    any ideas or suggestions????

    If you connect either the PC or PS to a usb hub, and leave the HD attached, you can choose which device you want to use, in theory. This of course assumes the PS2 will recognise the USB hub. If not, then you may just have to not be lazy and do the cables manually... :D
