Good Q Chris. I haven't actually moved one of them over to find out, but
they don't look much like each other in 'less'. And right now I'm up to
my buns in alligators as I told someone earlier this afternoon it might
be an hour & a half to put a modchip kit in a PS2. Hell, I've got more
than that in printing the instructions so far, 30 pages in hi-res on a
C82? That borders on being masochistic, to the printer. But that old
hockey puck just keeps asking for more paper and ink and otherwise keeps
on working. Now in borderless since I put in the latest GutenPrint-5.1
snapshot about a month ago. And I think some of the solder pads in the
PS2 are narrower than the smallest tip I have for my temp-controlled
iron, its 1/64th inch. Definitely a steady hand and magnifying worklight
piece of work, and I haven't done any of that since I tried to retire in
2002. With my creaky wrist joints, it could be quite a party.
So it will be a few hours before I can consider the question myself.
