Except their blue and cost $30,000. :) I donno, it was just really cool to actually see one in person. You also forgot the 8 megs of ram, as opposed to the normal 2. Just out of curosity, what was the OS change on the debug units? I also herd someone talking about a green debug unit. This unit suposidly had all the hardware upgrades/changes as the new playstations but has 8 megs of ram and no protection scheme. It was supose to be used so that developers could make sure that their code works properly on the new hardware. I wouldn't have thought that was a problem, until I discovered that a lock-up bug in the demo disk I got with my grey playstation dissapeared when I played the disc with my Yaroze system. Perhaps the hardware of the new and the old systems aren't 100% compatable after all... BTW: I have a bad habit of meaning to reply to a message in a newsgroup but accidently replying to them in person. I have really got to watch out for that. The last message was a good example. :) -- 'Darco darco@NOSPAM@bigfoot.com (Replace "@NOSPAM@" with an "@" to email me) UIN: 1454810 (You can page me at http://wwp.mirabilis.com/1454810) Voria: http://www.datasys.net/users/stu/rquat/voria PGPKey: http://www.datasys.net/users/stu/rquat/pgpkey.txt
