Playstation 2 iLink driver support page
Update 2014/07/07: Re-created and re-uploaded the 2012/02/29 package.
Update 2012/02/29: iLink plugin v0.98H released!
Update 2011/06/21: I had made an error during the previous upload - iLinkman v0.97A was actually v0.97C. :X
iLinkman is a driver that supports the Firewire port of Playstation 2 consoles.
It does not contain any code belonging to Sony, is less than 20KB in size and can attain speeds of up to roughly 4MB/s.
- Supports S100/S200/S400 speeds.
- Supports DMA transfers.
- Tested: Capable of data transfers of around 7MB/s.
- Does not use the Sony iLink driver (ILINK.irx), but iLinkman.irx that was developed by me.
- iLinkman is faster than the Sony iLink driver (ILINK.irx).
- Contains iLinkman v0.98H, and should support all supported consoles properly.
- All SCPH-1x000 and SCPH-3x000 series of Playstation 2 consoles are supported.
- iLinkman (And hence the whole iLink plugin for PS2ESDL) will not load on consoles newer than SCPH-390xx.

As usual, writing support of IEEE1394_disk is untested. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
As usual, please do not hotlink to the file as the link/filename will change with every release.
- As I had few reports/feedback from users, I don't know how well this works on other consoles.
- IEEE1394_disk (The SBP-2/IEEE1394A disk driver) might not support multi-LUN devices very well, so please do not use multi-functional devices.
- The original archive containing the files from the original 2012/02/29 release has been lost. I don't know whether the extension that I've found within the PS2ESDL build 20120229 archive is the right one, but I hope that it is.
- This plugin can only be used with PS2ESDL v0.821, at this moment. The plugin/extension format was changed at v0.825, and I am not going to update this plugin due to a lack of a user base and the difficulty of maintaining this project.
