Hi All,

Tried to post this before but got timed out, so my apologies if it ends up being a duplicate entry.

I miss the good old days when I could sell a PS2, some extra RAM, a super high-end (640x480) CAD graphics card and monitor, Autocad, a Plotter, and make about $5,000 profit. *sigh*

So about 20 years ago I ordered the wrong keyboard for a client. I found it while moving out of my house of 20 years a cupla months ago. In the bottom of my closet was a brand new, unopened PS2 Model 30 "Starter Kit." I opened the outer shipping container but I have no idea what the contents are of the inner box. Is the "Kit" just the keyboard? If your're wondering why the heck I don't open it to find out, I was thinkin it might be cool for a real aficionado to have the honors...

Anyway, anyone know for sure what's inside??

Thanks!

From memory, the Model 25 Starter Kit contained things like the Starter Diskette which had a tutorial type of program, along with the "Entertainment Sampler" which had a few games including Freddy's Rescue Roundup. I believe it's the same thing as here:

In this guy's unboxing of a Model 25, I don't see him open a Starter Kit anywhere. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPk4Ag86qUE

(An open mystery is what on earth kind of Model 25 came with a SCSI card and an external SCSI drive. I had a 3510, but I certainly didn't come with the Model 25.)
