I do believe I have the very same model. Welcome to the club!

I'm using MediaLink, but Rivet appears to do the same job.

No, but if -you- want to get one I'll go halves. My model is the Slim
and I'm not sure the Slim can use those cables. It turns out the cable
for PS1 only is subtly different to that which does PS2 (and more
expensive). However, I'm told that the Ps2 cable will handle PS1 games,
just that the Slim doesn't handle PS2 so can't use it.

I have years worth of Worms high scores to transfer.

Cheers,
Ian

I'm probably not going to buy a cable since I only have one single
savegame that I want to transfer - and, in fact, I'm only doing that so
I can avoind having to replay one single level ('Solo').

If I can borrow one from someone I'll let you know.

Sorry, no but FWIW, the PS1/2 games play well and its nice to have
online play as well for some of them.

The model I have lacks the PS2 ability, but as you say PS1 games play
well.
