Where would i be able to find the right equipment to connect a hard drive to my Old/Phat PS2? Of course i would rather not buy the 100.00 FFXI Kit because i would like to either way replace that hard drive with a far larger one. So are there any stand-alone pieces of hardware that can and will do the same thing?:confused:

You just need a PS2 network adaptor to use an IDE hdd

You can buy one off Ebay or I know a seller on psx-scene w (http://psx-scene.com/forums/buy-sell-trade/59550-20-network-adaptors-phone-and-ethernet-port-style.html)ho has some.

i would appreciate if you could talk to your friend and have send me an email at psphproject@gmail.com so i could possibly talk business with him, but 20+ Shipping seems a little steep.

Thanks very much for the heads up though on that information.

Thats actually pretty cheap. Sony does not make them anymore.
I have paid $35 and $40 for both of mine and they are used. Brand new if you can find them are expensive.

I have sent him your email address, so if he still has any I am sure he will contact you.

thats good to hear, and 35-40 dollars? Dude, were in a recession in the united states, money isnt as easy to come by as it used to be. Divineo is selling some for 27.99 + shipping. 21 is a deal, but not a steal.

Mine is the Network Adapter with modem and broadband.

The one Divineo has is only Broadband, and it looks like they have none in stock.
