Sony has already released photos of their internal HD and ethernet module
but who knows when it'll ever release. Now we just need someone to start a
PS2 port of NetBSD. Does anyone want to donate a DTL-T10000? They only
cost 2 million Yen.

So far the only use I've found for the i.Link port is that you can use it
for LAN play with Unreal Tournament and a firewire hub. I'm not about to
go out and try to find another PS2 just for that, however. Adding CD-Rs
and hard drives would be a much better use for that port.
