$100 seems a reasonable price to me, if you love your PS1 and want the original hardware around for years to come.
Keeping in mind I have never used a PSIO, I'd say that it depends on how bad you want to keep your original PS1 working in the future. The problem with a lot of the PS1's is the drives were not that great and lots of them died. Back in the day I installed a bunch of mod chips in PS1's for friends, I believe all the PS1's I moded had CD drive failure eventually.
For me the Rhea was worth the price point to keep my Saturn going. How ever, the PS1 is much better emulated then the Saturn and the PS2 has nearly perfect backwards compatibility because it has the PS1 processor on board. It's also happens to be the greatest selling console of all time and has several options for modding including a software mod that lets you back up to a hard drive.
If your a collector and really want to have the original hardware for your PS1 games then I would say yes. If you just want to walk down memory lane then a PS1 emulator or a modded PS2 with a HD back up is probably the way to go.

I already have a modded ps2 and emulators. But I'm a console collector. And I want to play on the original hardware. So I will be willing to pay more for psio so I find wreck my drive.
Is there any word on multi disc games? I know it's a long test to play the first disc through to see if swapping to the next works.

From there FAQ:
--- Quote ---What about multi-disc games. Can I play games such as Abe's Exodus or Final Fantasy that use more than one disc?
Yes. This will be supported. Whilst playing your game, you can simply bring up a menu (using a button combination) that will allow you to mount a different CD-ROM or we will simulate a disc swap. This will all depend how the prototype performs during our tests. More information regarding this feature will be explained upon release.

Wow I must have skimmed past it
RyoriNoTetsujin:
I just wanted to post here that I recently bought an EverDrive N8 direct from Krikzz in the Ukraine, and it's been a fantastic experience. Ordered on June 4, received on June 17 here in New Jersey (much sooner than expected!)
Works perfectly. All you do is download the most recent software, unzip it to a folder on the SD Card, add your games (in .nes or .fds format, it doesn't recognize .zip), put it in and power up the NES, and *poof* it gives you an alphabetized list of games available for play.
The only problem I ran into was the realization that the unit can only list so many roms in a list at once (~200 or so?), so I had to break up the collection into alphabetized folders ("A-C," "D-F," "G-I," etc.) in order to see them all... but once I did that, there's been no reason to take the thing out of my NES! Worth every penny. :burgerking:
