Well, it would appear that one of the OWNZ monkeys have done something potentially beneficial for once...if you're a member, check this link out:

Not being a member, I won't check it out.

I do wonder what benefit adding a second dvdrom to a ps2 would provide, however.

Er, this was done quite awhile ago by a ps2linux user. Check the forums on playstation2-linux.com.

is ther a way to get a 2nd drive to boot a ps2 game?
my guess is no.

Yeah, just set the "Boot Drive" jumper on the motherboard to "External", and let the good times roll.

Dude, be careful. If he starts looking for other jumpers he may find the one that lets him boot games from the harddrive. We don't want to encourage such horrible, horrible actions!

Can we at least point him to the 'DNAS Enabled' jumper or is that against the rules too?

I have a pink jumper free to anyone who wants to play with it.

It's posible this . I test this with a recompiled kernel with IDE ATAPI
support and works perfecly. But in native mode is another history, not?
It's poseble to use a 2nd DVD like a HDDLOADER.

bd: any extra fuzzy jumpers? I like the pink feathered ones..

seriously though: we're all pink on the inside...
