Re: [GD-Consoles] usb cable

[Research \(GameBrains\) <res...@ga...>]

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
