Maybe of interest

However a bit steep for $3,450.

Would such a report actually be useful to you guys? If so, maybe you should set up a donations page for it.

The difficulty with such an idea is copyright: say a collection was done, who gets it ? Only those who contributed ? Does the license and terms of the report allow even that ?

Even before that, interested parties need to know precisely what they are after. We already have publicly available teardowns without parts data and block diagrams. Some basic block diagrams from Sony presentations have also been places on the net.

Finally, there is no guarantee their information is all that much more complete than what is already publicly available. Put together a group of ps2dev'ers, and I bet we can do just as good of a teardown.

You need hardware hackers for that. The only ps2dev'ers that do hardware (or are any good at it) hire out their services to modchip companies. We'll see homebrew on the PSP when Datel or XYZ modchip company get their hands on it.
