Jase,
Thanks for your note. We're not trying to debug (we use TOOLs for =
that), we are testing and the testers want to download the elf to the =
ps2 via a pc. They asked me to have a look as there's no doc =
(strangely) about connecting the debug station to a pc in any of the =
Metrowerks docs, only the T10K. Anyway, you answered my question, =
thanks! We got loads of ethernet-usb adapters laying around :-)
Cheers,
Brett
