Bighap? Help for the Elderly?

[Frankie4Fingers]

Once again, you've not been a disappointment. I really appreciate the prompt response. Being not as 'still handed' as I used to be when I worked on electronics, I've been looking over the various mod options...I do have some professional gear and equipment left over, nice 15 watt motherboard needle point kit, etc...I saw some discrepencies about the no-solder kits.

They're already not _too_ bad with the swap trick and have it pretty much down well, with the USBMod/Neokey and uhh...the fish controller...gameshark? Yeah. (Gets laughed at by his oldest). Anyway, will it play over 74 minute CD's with the no-solder types? Is that what the Swap Discs that come in the combo packs offer with the no-solder types? I'm just trying to make sure they will be able to play their old 74minute and 80 minute cd backups, as well as the new DVD-R's when I get to that stage. Thanks for the heads up on the V1 laser...we'll find a solution for that archaic one, I think they have friends who are looking for a used one, and I'll get them a new one...they've come down greatly in price, as with all things. I remember paying 250 dollars for a 2400 baud modem! You kids and your internet...we used to have to stand on the roof and yell '1...0...1...1...0...1....1' in college and THAT was our internet. After climbing the hill in the snow both ways to even get there...anyway, thanks for the help, I really appreciate it all. Let me know your opinion on the no-solder one and compatability, (might be easiest to install, as no one around here to install such things, and I'm not 100% certain of my steadiness). Thanks again!

PS> So I'll have a V4 and a V7 PS2. I see a place with a 2 for price of 1 special on the no-solder, which is a nice touch too...last question for a while, I promise!
