In the spirit of all of the recent Playstation furor, I have re-kindled my desire to make a Playstation memory card reader. It seems to be a fairly easy project as is documented on various sites. There are six data pins, so the parallel port has more than enough width to do all of the I/O. Furthermore, only +3.5V is required to drive Sony brand cards and there is available editing software. The only difficulty is obtaining the connector. I am hoping to get one out of a PS1 that I have somewhere at home, however, it looks like other types of connectors can be modified to fid the memory card.
