You can get one for $320 at www.modchip-sbox.com. You have to email them for details. If they give you the option for which mod you want, I am assuming they will offer you one of the ones they sell, get an Apple. They are much more reliable than the magic 3.x

Apple vs. Apple 2?

Is the Apple only for v7 PS2's?

Is there a version for older systems (the one I want to mod ATM is a v5). What's the Apple 2?

Ok, found a seller for Apple chips. They seem to have:

Apple 2

and

Mini Apple

...

What is the difference, and ... it seems that the boot process for the Apple chip is substantially more complex than that of the Magic... is that possible?

I have heard bad things about the apple mini. It is very much like a magic 3. Booting problems and all that stuff. I have an original apple and it is flawless, check out Charlie's review of it too. All you gotta do it hit reset once for ps2 games and hold reset for 2 seconds for psx games and dvd movies and that's if you just inserted the disc. If it is already in there just boot as you would an unmodded ps2. I highly recommend the original apple chip.

I beleive that you can. I do not have one but have heard several people talk about holding reset for 5 seconds to boot DVD9 games. From the way they talked about it this was a feature that was not known about before one member posted it.

The apple and messiah 2 are extremely similar performance wise. The only differences are the boot procedure and the apple is half the cost of a messiah 2.
