Got three PS2s, steering wheels, 3 LCD projectors, large screens, amps and sound etc for a GT3 night on the 3rd of Jan but having trouble locating hardware to connect together.

All I can get hold of is i-link cable to connect 2 PS2s. I believe I need an i-link hub to connect more machines but can't find one anywhere. Would PC World or equivalent hold?

Anyone with experience of doing this?

You can get a firewire hub from a Mac supplier. You'll need cables as well as the hubs I've seen don't have the same sockets as the playstation.

Thumbs up

Yep, you need a firewire hub and i.LINK 4 pin to 6 pin cables

The IOGEAR i-link Battlehub from here would do nicely.
