One is called version 1 it contains a digital port and the analog port on the back of the gamecube.
Version 2 however doesn't have the digital port nintendo noticing that gamers didn't want to shell out 80.00 for a digital cable they decided to remove the port.
Well. I was speaking more of the technical aspects of the versions, not the psyical aspects.
I heard from a few sources, that the 001`s laser lens is abit longer lasting, and the 101`s chipset is more updated and advanced.
So right now I swapped a few things around, so my cube is currentlly useing the chipset of a 101, and the dvd drive of a 001.
As for the 001`s digital port on what we will refer to as ''cube-b'' Would there be any benefit on keeping it around or at least the digital out port? (No, I dont have an adapter for it, Nor do I plan to disconnect my PS2`s HDMI)
