Just get a long iLink cable.

Actually, a broadband iLink interface would be a great idea. Maybe I should write Sony and suggest it.

Your asking the wrong questions. The I.Link Hub is better known as a "Firewire hub". Just ask them that and they will know what your looking for. But theres more. iLink hubs (a.k.a. Firewire hub) uses a 6-pin configuration, while the ps2 uses a 4-pin setup. So in order to link 6 ps2's you need 6,4 - to 6 pin cables. looks something like this.

Has anyone heard of the "Firewire Hub" or where to get one??

I'm trying man but getting info on this stuff is damn frustrating. Any store you go into in the Uk like (Dixons, Pc World, Elec. Boutique etc..) they just look at you like you've asked them the meaning of life for christs sake.

If anyone has got some info on 6-player hubs I would be damn appreciated.

There are a lot of resources that a Firewire Hub can be purchased. Since my computer only has one IEEE 1394 port on it, I need additional ports for my other devices. IEEE 1394 standard allows the connection of up to 63 different devices on one IEEE 1394 interface port. Gere are some quotes from apple who designed firewire.

Works with Macs and PCs
FireWire works with both Macs and PCs, which guarantees a wide range of FireWire-capable products at reasonable prices. Many digital videocams and cameras already use FireWire, which is also referred to as IEEE 1394 and i.LINK.

FireWire Benefits
The FireWire advantage can be summed up in three words: speed, speed, and more speed—at 400Mbps, it has more than 30 times the bandwidth of USB, which makes it the perfect choice for high-speed storage and serious video capture. Here are some other benefits: Supports up to 63 devices using cable lengths up to 14 feet.
Hot-pluggable—you don’t have to turn off a scanner or CD drive to connect or disconnect it, and you don’t need to restart your computer.
FireWire cables are a snap to connect—you don’t need device IDs, jumpers, DIP switches, screws, latches or terminators.

I have not tried it, but would like to put together a 6-player game room for some serious GT3 action. I only have one problem . . . . .cost.

In US Dollars the brakedown is something like this:

PS2-GT3 game pack - 6x329.95 = 1979.70
27" Standard TV Monitors - 6x289.99 = 1739.94
Accessories and such - 6x89.99 = 539.94

Total cost of gaming center = $4,259.58 which assumes using T.V. sound with no custom sound equipment.

lets see if i can sneak in here....

I tell you what though, if an arcade invested that money into a set up like that, and charge per race... they would make some serious money. I am telling. Its like daytona, at disney!!

now that sounds like a great idea man , i can just see it now !! if every major city in the world had a venue like this , i could just leave a trail of dust all over the uk ! thats until i get to berkshire that is gvx land, where i would really have a true test before i branched out and strategically demorallized all top players around the globe ! hey it sounds like a cool break anyway . lol

 

[Magic069]
