i must be really thick gareth cos i'm still not getting this.

what did you buy from modchipstore? was it just a hdd and the hdloader (or whatever disc)? or do you get something else with the hdd to connect it to the ps2 via network cable? or is the hdd a special network ready one?

iv'e just bought a 160 gb hdd for my pc that i needed anyway, but that's ide connection. or does the network adaptor for the original ps2 have an ide connection?
