Differences between the 1000 and 1400:

• DECR-1000:
  • Gb-DEVLAN is connected to the Communication Processor
  • With a pre (or equal to) 0.85.010 bootrom you do have two HDMI outputs.
  • Not all DECR-1000 are equal! Despite Sony's documentation claiming otherwise, DECR-1000 units with RSX rom version b07 and above such as refurbished/serviced units (and perhaps some others that have not been encounter) are not capable of running any firmware lower than 1.60 (from sdk 160.008) this is because the rom version is unknown/unsupported in older lv1 which will fail to initialize the RSX hardware and will cause lv1 to output a "rsx rom abort!" message, this will in turn create an exception early in lv2 boot process as it tries to use the RSX and creates a hard brick several RSX related errors such as "lv2(2): # __rsxaudio_intr_create_thread 983 ffffffff" or "graphics error 512 : 00012625 c221bbb0" ; "lv2(2): page fault handler (DSI): invalid access address 0x795d00e8!".

• DECR-1400:
  • You cannot use Performance monitoring functions (libperf, libprof, tuner for PS3)
    • for SPU: PC sampling, Performance counters, Bookmark, RAW SPU support
    • for RSX: Signal Trace, User Events.
  • DECI3 is limited to one protocol and a data exchange size of 65535 bytes.
  • The two GbLAN´s share the same MAC ID and cannot be used in the same network segment.
  • Gb-DEVLAN is connected to South Bridge.
