Overview
SPEED is the Ethernet/network and IDE controller of the PS2. For fat models, it comes inside the network adaptor. For slim models, it comes on the motherboard for SCPH-700XX consoles, with the IDE pins still exposed on the PCB, making it possible to connect a hard drive (which is, however, not practical in most cases, as it requires a lot of wires and soldering). Starting with SCPH-750XX consoles, SPEED was not used anymore, as its functions of an Ethernet/network controller were integrated into the newly developed PPC405-based IOP/Deckard, with the IDE interface being removed completely.
