The older PS2 version i.e. SCPH-10000, SCPH-15000 has a "PC Card" at the back instead of a "bay" and a PCMCIA modem fit exactly.. the question is is there a driver to run a PCMCIA modem? or it is not possible to really connect one?

If you can get ahold of the network adapter for these machines (it's a PCMCIA card of course) then technically you could use ps2dev9.irx from ps2drv and ps2smap.irx from ps2eth to drive it. In other works, ps2link should work on these machines, but that's never been tested.

There aren't any PS2 drivers for PCMCIA modems that I'm aware of.

It exist a module to use the hard disk and PCMCIA card.

PCMCIA card for jap PS2 contain a connetor for external HD and a RJ45 plug for broadband network.

In the FFXI game and BB Navigator (and jap linux kit) there is inevitably a driver for PCMCIA plug and HD.

why it not exist today (after 5 years) a driver for the old models of PS2 ? (10000, 15000, 18000)

ps2link works quite happily on my 15k, the network drivers work perfectly.

Of course the 10k and 15k bioses had a horrible bug in ExecPS2 which unless patched generally causes ps2link to lock up, but that is another story.

Dr. Wily: Thats against our rules. Some of your other posts were against our rules. I'm in a fairly good mood today but you are still about one post away from a ban.

OK sorry.

But my questions is not for copying game or others similar stuff. I already have an other model of PS2 compatible with this.

If I want more information about PS2 10000 and HD, it is only for dev purpose on THIS specific models.

But PS2 scene lack of interest for this olders models. Why ?

Maybe because there are so few of them in existance outside Japan. But Tyranid doesn't seem to have an troubles...

Basically it requires someone with possession and motivation to write a patch so that it will work. If none exists, it won't get done.

Yes, I want try to write module for PC Card port. But I don't kown if this plug is similar to DEV9.

Maybe the DEV9 plug on 30k models is just a PC card port with specific pinout ?
