If it possible to plug a HDD on USB port, is what possible to plug an external firewire HDD on 1394 port (I-link) ?
it exist a driver for ieee1394 PS2 port ?
It's possible or not ?

| Sure, you can plug all sorts of hardware into the FireWire and USB ports. They just aren't useable in PSDev. :) |

There is a driver for usb mass storage, it works great.. and last time I checked keyboard, mouse, eyetoy and touchscreen all work.
But I have not read about anyone releasing anything to work the ieee1394 port. |

| Just in case if anyone is still interested: I've managed to get firewire working with ILINK.IRX from GT3 game. Actually I'm quite disappointed as a maximum raw read speed I've got is about 400KB/s (SBP-2/SCSI protocol with LaCie firewire HDD) which is even slower than USB... |

That's pretty cool EEUG :-)
Any plans on writing an EE RPC library for ILINK.IRX?
Ideally there would also be a freeilink.irx, however the ILINK.IRX is huge (100K+, if I remember correctly) and probably not worth the effort, considering that there is no firewire port on the PSTwo.

| ...actually I had plans to write some analog of usb_mass, but with that speed I'll probably abandon this idea (though I'll try to put my workouts to SVN some day)... |

| ...by the way, does somebody know if IOP DMA controller has a dedicated channel for i.Link interface and what are parameters (I don't really think that this information is available, but who knows :))... |

| It would certainly help speed things up if it did. :) |

| EEUG, you could edit the driver without the transfer speed limit and recompile it with ps2sdk |

About this I'll say three things:
1: It is not a question of any explicit limit that can be removed, but a matter of difficult optimization in order to raise transfer speed of any interface.
2: EEUG has already made improved network modules for improved speed in SMS, and some versions (but not all) of those drivers are also available in the PS2Dev source repository.
3: EEUG probably could make other improvements too, but the last post of his in this thread is 20 months old now, so I think he considers this particular conversation to be over.
