Yeah, ps2 having USB1.1 is awful, that's what made me not use an external hdd to load games, as they would load slower than through the optical drive. Well, just like their i.link connection, usb works mostly with eyetoy, but also with the very good steering wheels by logitech. I did think about how a usb modchip would be able to inject code into the boot sequence, but never got around it. Regular modchips are ok, but I don't want to break my warranty, since I got mine not long ago and to get it, I would only put mine in very capable hands, since once a wise man told me that "a ps2 is not a can of beans" :)) I guess I'm left with swap magic then. And it's definitely worth it since ps2 has the biggest game library of all consoles, and not just the biggest but also the one with the most amount of actually good games :)
