Sony "DTP-T10000H A" - differences from normal T10k?

[npt]

Hello all,
I have come across an interesting piece and I know someone here is more likely to know the difference than anywhere else on the net, save devnet. ;p

So, I was looking at a tool that someone was showing off, and here are the differences I can tell - the model # is "DTL-T10000 H A" now this is one I had not heard of before. To add to the mystery, the back of the unit has one major difference - it has 1 of the 3 card slots filled with an RS-232 DB9 connector.

Has anyone ever seen one of these and if so can you tell me what is different about them? All I could think of was perhaps they can take a proto controller, like the proto PSX controllers I've seen with serial ports on them before, but that just seems silly.

Any info appreciated.

Regards,

npt

The 815VE SBC PCI card (with the Celeron 5xxMHz) comes with the serial port on a second bracket.

Thanks unclejun as always.

What is the difference between a DTL-T10000H and DTL-T10000HA? Does anyone know?

I think that's the only difference.
The last setup.pdf I have has been published in march 2004, it does mention the T10000, the T10000H and the T15000, so I assume the T10000H A is not worth mentioning in the docs for the game developers...

Features of the DTL-T10000 / DTL-T10000H
The DTL-T10000 / DTL-T10000H is a development tool for developing PlayStation 2 software and has the
following features:
• It is equipped with the features of the PlayStation 2 and allows efficient software development.
• It comes with a communications processor supporting 10/100BASE-T Ethernet that allows it to send
and receive software and data with a development computer over a network. This allows programs to
be run, checked, and debugged efficiently.
• It can be connected directly to a network, so installation and upgrading is simple. This also reduces the
load on the development computer.
• A CD/DVD emulator can be installed which allows master disk-level tests to be performed without
creating a CD-R or DVD-R.
The DTL-T10000H is the successor to the DTL-T10000 and has additional functions for connecting a
PlayStation BB Unit.
