Hi,
	No, you're free to talk to your PC - to the PlayStation it appears a "tty" serial device, take a look at calls
such as http://www.playstation.co.uk/yaroze/ftplibraries/update1/.

	With CodeWarrior you can use the MWbload function directly, with the standard libraries (GNU) its a little
trickier but possible - again you can open the tty and read/write.   

	Have a look, at see what you can do.
