PS2 Boot CD 3.0? & Sony Legal Action against Neo.

[DataBitz]

DaExpert has a apparently bootable PS2 which you can download for free however a friend and I have both downloaded it and neither of us can get this thing to boot. Has anyone else out there tried this, do we need a special CD writer to create this. From what I have read in these forums it is impossible to create bootable CD from a PC CDR drive? Please confirm, is this DaExpert guy having us on??

Also unrealated but has anyone else heard that Neo and Messiah chips are no longer available I was thinking about getting one but now I'm not sure what the story is.
