All of you who are or have been working on a PS2P must now re-evaluate the situation.

The power of the thing is 8.5v ! yes this thing will be a breeze to power now. If you want to see it your self the specs are near the bottem of the Lik-Sang page.

Sorry guys I didn't know that this topic was already posted. So Moderators, feel free to lock or delete this thread. But I do think this thread has better links to better photos with more info then the other one does.

Holy crap.... the transformer rating is 5.3A!!! I know that it probably won't take that much, but still, that's a lot.

Just a thought but how would someone go about connection the hdd to the new PS2? You think they'll have an adapter or just say "screw it" and all you have is either-net.

I though FFXI rquired the HDD. If it is required, then Sony wouldn't dare leave out the connection.

If that thing really takes 5.3 AMPS then you can say goodbye PS2p. (At least with this THING!) Sure it takes 8.5v but so what... 5.3 AMPS! Come on...

Post by **gannon** » Wed Sep 22, 2004 2:14 pm

I would assume that the extra power is only incase of use with the sony hdd.
Normall 3.5" drives require around 10 watts of power.

Also, since it's newer, I'd assume that it's more efficient and draws less than 2 amps.

Oh good, then this will still be a good option for portable making!

I wonder if it still uses a cooling fan. Just being able to play PS2 games with out that dam loud fan noise would be reason enough to buy it.
