Hello OGers.
In the middle of acquiring a working DTL-H1000 or H1001 debugger unit in the coming months, and as I am no mastermind when it comes to hardware (- just history!) I thought that I'd come over here where I can pick all your expert noggins.
I know they are very similar to a retail unit, but I wanted to be certain I have the right idea and the right parts before I even so much as attempt to breathe on a debug unit. I want it to reliably last as long as it can, snapping up a few replacement CD spindles and other odds (step down converter!) just in case some of the common issues arise.
With the PS1 laser rigmarole "fondly" burned into my memory, I come to the OG experts with a humble question:
Which laser (or as close to it nowadays) is used in the H1000/1001 units? Can I use replacements from busted retail units/order chinese clones?
From my novice and uninformed sleuthing, it seems something like a KSM-440ADM/AEM would be the right way to go. Would appreciate any pointers and insight from OGers more experienced with the PS1 hardware!
