I have an ELF of USB Advance, which I plan to use with my games, but I would like to know which USB hard drives are compatible with the program.
I also found this: http://www.hdcombo.com/cgi-bin/hdcombo/site.pl. It's HD Combo, one of two add-ons for slim PlayStation 2s to support IDE hard drives. I wanted to get it, but it seems as though this is not compatible with the Version 14(mine). The motherboard is different than the Version 12 and 13, which makes me wonder if this thing truly isn't compatible with the Version 14. If it isn't, will the HD Connect work for the Version 14?
My console collection: Version 14A PlayStation 2(chipped), Version 7 PlayStation 2, PlayStation(both models), Wii, Gamecube, N64, Super NES(original from US and Japan and Mini), NES(front and top loader)Model 1 & 2 Genesis, Sega CD, Sega 32X, Atari 2600, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, Sega Master System(Model 1 and 2), Atari Flashback 1 & 2, FC Twin(2 in 1 NES/Super NES clone), GN Twin(2 in 1 NES/Genesis clone), Atari 7800, Intellivision II, TurboGrafx 16, GameBoy Color
