Potentially blown Intel MMX chip on PS2 TOOL PCI card - queries

Regarding the red LEDs - thanks! That confirms that they are NOT warning lights, but are meant to come on as part of the boot sequence.

I have just finished downloading Redhat 5.2 - I'll try and get to the PS2 Tool later on tonight, but this weekend is pretty busy. I will await your checks of your system. Looking forward to hearing how successful the HDD dump is.

 

guys , if you will make a dumps for these 2 HDDs , let me know ,

I would vote to make dumps with Acronis True Image

 

I'll check that software later, don't worry, when (not if) I dump the hdds, I'll let you know.

 

As slow and terrible and non gui-ey as it may sound, I vote for using good old reliable dd, problem is, its not very conforming to well, anything else :/

 

I just hope something works as staring at BIOS is getting rather soul destroying :-(

Good luck Unclejun! <fingers crossed>

 

I'm thinking of using g4u http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ unless you have a better solution.

Acronis seems too windows oriented, I can't stand the xp/vista-esque interface and I don't want a 100megs software when a 4megs one can do better, so forget about it.

dd might be an alternative if everything else fails, but I'd rather not end with a 30gig file...

Parris, turn off the damn thing!

There's Scotland-France tomorrow, enjoy it!

 

Have you seen Scotland play recently? It is a nightmare! h:

 

The weather now reminds me of the week-end I spent in and near Glasgow except it might be a little hotter, that was in november, 2 years ago I think, all scotts were wearing summer clothes, I was litteraly freezing...

 

I don't understand the northern british mentality of wearing so few clothes irrespective of the weather. When it's cold I personally wrap up warm, wear scarves, thick jumpers and a jacket. Ever been to Newcastle? It's even worse there for some odd reason. You are considered abnormal if you wear anything on a cold day - the women look like icicles in their skimpy stuff with the freezing winds sweeping up off the north sea! Nutters!

 

OMG - how OFF TOPIC is this thread getting? LOL

 

Its coz we are hard as nails.

 

And what's wrong with women wearing skimpy stuff?

in a word "hypothermia" that's all

 

Any advance in the HDD area Unclejun or are there problems getting the data out?

 

If anyone has a dead Ps2 Tool Im after a shell.

 

This thread is just becoming a Sony dev free for all lol ;-)

I had one, sold it only a few weeks ago - sorry - if I get another, then I shall let you know. Not something else for you to fit into your van load? :-(

 

lol nah want to make a Pc with it.

 

I dumped the first hdd but I "may" have ran into a problem, so Parris you should test it as you have nothing to lose except time maybe, I'll PM you the details now.

 

Thanks Unclejun. I just woke up again an hour or so ago and will catch up with you later!

 

The hdd dump works fine, atleast in bochs , if anyone needs it, send me a PM
