i saw this product, and it made me wonder if it would allow me to run my PS2 through my Mac.

It is a Belkin adaptor Specifically a USB VideoBusII

Have any of you tried this?

TIA

since it's USB, it needs drivers. If belkin doesn't say it's mac-compatible, then chances are it is not.

I second that. I bought a card reader and they said they were writing drivers for OSX, 4 weeks later they changed their mind and I have a paper weight now. A month later they update the device for a trade in and its been over a month now, and I STILL haven't recieved it. I sent mine back to them 3 weeks ago. I'll NEVER buy a product by them, EVER!

from the Belkin info site:

# Watch your movie blockbuster at 30 frames per second and a video resolution of 352 x 288

Kidding right? 352 X 288???? That'll look great on my 23" cinema HD display. (if I had one)

I will stick to my TV screen.

It does work on the Mac, but it appears there are no drivers for OSX yet. Now that I have PS7, I don't need classic for much except Tetris Max.
