It's only checked by the driver to set up a unique ID. If you're writing your own driver, use some other number. I think (from memory) the ID is written to a register on the LSI controller. If you are using somebody elses driver, you could just manually poke this register after setup then force a bus reset. The register descriptions are in the public domain & the base address has been posted on these pages. It does suck that a unique ID is always used, because it forces windows to go through driver installation every time you plug in a different ps2, even though it's the same software with same CSR values....
If you are writing your own driver, I'd be keen to share code.
ps don't know why, but your original post was locked....
model number for 1394 ID
You are talking about the EUID or whatever it's called. The model number is not the same thing. It's a text string "SCPH-35001" that is used in the CSR to identify the PS2 on the ieee1394 bus. The easy thing to do, plug the PS2 into your PC, load a games "ilink.irx" and look at the values the PS2 shows in the CSR. You'll see your model number there.
I locked that forum because as I said (as Guest), attempting to change the model number is useless and def. not something to be discussed on these forums. The previous poster (the guy talking about DNAS) was also referring to the same unique ID that you are referring to.

I should add that I am lock happy, if I see a topic deviate into a questionable or grey-area topic, or veer way off topic I'll lock it. Some stuff could be moved to the off-topic forum, but not when it's about modifying stuff in the PS2 that shouldn't be modified.

fair enough.
I'm not sure what 1394 stuff you've been into, but I haven't seen the model number you refer to used in any kind of 1394 ID. Some machine unique value is used in EUID which does make using different machines a pain in the but. The CSR is entirely software defined (outside driver) so maybe some products/games use it.
In any case it doesn't matter since it seems the orginal poster wasn't doing anything interesting.
