Depends on what you want. You can hook it up via a USB cable and it'll mount like a drive. You can drag files to it and from it.

You need a USB to mini B cable. If you have a digital camera they're usually the correct kind.

Just a dubble USB-cable (in PS2 an iMac) and just go for it? Like Plug'n Play? Or do you mean it's possible to just rearrange some files?
I'd like to play on my PS2, but instead of using a TV-screen, I'd use my iMac(-screen). With just an USB?

Arranging, moving files? Yes. Using your iMac's screen as a monitor through USB? No.

It's best (arguably) to use some utility like PSPWare or iPSP for syncing with your Mac among other things they do.

I don't understand (I'm not the smart-computer-type of human)! You just gave me 2 sites for PSP-software; don't I need some Playstation 2-hardware? Or some AV-cable, or a USB-SCART-cable?
What can I do with that software?
(thx)

Yikes eptica. I'm sorry I thought you were talking about a PSP. I realize now your talking about a PS 2

No I don't believe there's anyway to do anything with a PS2 and your Mac.

I thought it IS possible, 'cause there are some things to link your Mac to an other device like a TV; isn't it possible to (instead of linking a Mac to a TV) link a "TV" or Playstation 2 or Xbox or ... to your (I prefer mine) Mac?

I dont think so, mainly because iMacs dont have a TV in, or whatever its called.

Is it possible to link external devices via USB-USB or USB-FireWire 400 to an iMac G5?
