just wondering if it is possible to hook up two drives, as long as you get the right cables will hdloader recognise the second drive if i set it to slave??? anyone tried this yet? -x-x-x-
there's no way of doing that, because there is no way to physically install to harddrives in the ps2 using the network adapter
Couldn't you just get a spitter ide cable and a splitter power cable to hook it up? Dunno if the software would recognize.
thats what i was asking i know obviosuly they would FIT 2 hdd inside the ps2, but i nwas jsut curious if anyone ahs tried this? i cant try it cvos i dont ahve another spare hdd im just now wondering if there is actually space for the cables to poke out from, bearing in midn that the network adapter has to be fully inserted in order to be connected? -x-x-x-
There is no IDE splitter but there is an IDE cable that you can put a master and slave on so hmmm.. Maybe I'll try it when I get home.
I believe that network adapter can only support one ide device per channel... so no master/slave configurations would work... you could just swap out the hds like budnick suggested easiest and cheapest... im guessing cheapest is ur best route since u cant cough up $60 for 120+ gig drive
i never said i cant cough up enopugh for a 120gb drive so dont be so bloody presumptious as a matter of fact, i already have a 120gb drive installed in my ps2 i was onyl wondering if the master s;lave thign would work so that i could get another 120gb drive btw, i meant to ay i knwo they would NOT FIT inside, that was a typo -x-x-x-
The new ps2ownz hd advance is supposed to allow large drives so as soon as i get it to work I'm getting a 200-250
Something like this might work. But you are talking serase modding. You will have to bild a box to hold all of the hard drives. http://www.techadvice.com/info/item.asp?cid=1514&pid=678&iid=22261
