Ps2 Network adapter related question

[peppers]

I desided to make some modifacations to the network adapter

here is my question

m going to add connections for anouther devise into the network adapter to power to use the HDD I want to know if it would be ok to just directley connect it to the network adapters pins or should I add diodes or something to the network adapters connectilons to its plugs to protect the network adapter from getting fired


Thanks, and no crap answers please

[peppers]

what is unclear?

hook up something else tto the ps2's network adapter hdd plugs wile leaveing it connected to the network adapter

[shelter pitfall]

sooo... instead of HDD, sumthing else? or Something else (like a second Cd drive for your Final Fantasy PSone needs?) with HDD through the network adapter?

[peppers]

im going to use another devise with the hdd with it still pluged into the network adapter in the ps2

[soundwave]

edit- you could probably use a two-connector IDE cable or something, but you'll get no where if the second device lacks driver software.

[peppers]

add something and of course it would onley be pluged in when the ps2 is off

[soundwave]

Do you mean using the HDD for two different things?

[peppers]

yeh

[soundwave]

Aha. I have no idea if you could do that, I dont see why not.

[peppers]
