An early one. Turn it over and look at the SPCH number. I'd gather it's something like a 3001. Even earlier models had an s-video jack if I remember correctly.

I may have a new job Wednesday :)

Not that I lost my old one, but the one I have now doesn't even count as part-time. Local guy wants me to do some web work for him and I'll probably end up taking some new pictures of his products since he's just using generic pictures at the moment. Don't know how much it's gonna pay yet, but every little bit helps.

The only downside is he doesn't have a storefront. He works out of his home, so I have to go meet him at his house at 3 on Wednesday. He says there are going to be other people around, but my dad has already told me he's following me to the appointment just to make sure everything is kosher.

As a Staples or Office Max employee once told me, apparently some people think some crazy things. Like this one lady that bought a scanner thought she had to put the paper up to the monitor to scan it. Like, you're monitor IS your computer. You want a page on the screen, so you put the page up to the screen and by osmosis the page is now in your computer.

And apparently some old lady was trying to return her mouse because it was broken. Turns out she thought it was suppose to move around on the floor!
Oh god I have so many Staples stories. I used to work on the broken PCs sometimes and nearly every person had a giant porn collection on their hard drive. And I didn't do any snooping around, I'm talking about folders labelled "Porn" right on the desktop.

Ah, yeah. PS1s had standard ports like the 3DO at first, but Sony later dropped them. I'd assume to keep production costs down.

This one has the s-video port as you can see.

Still not worth it to hunt them down in my opinion. The ones that do have the ports still have the plastic laser assembly and overheating problems as I understand it.

Well, the only reason I was asking was because someone on GTZ found some RF adapters like this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NAKI-Automatic- ... 1810229547

And they had no idea what they went to and I did some research and found that one on ebay and I remembered some of the older Playstation models had a bunch of ports so I looked it up and found the picture I posted earlier and it all made sense. haha But now they want to know the model number of the console it goes to and I have no idea what to tell them because I know absolutely nothing about Playstation stuff.
