I use one with my PlayStation 2.

I dunno how much help it'll be, though.  I haven't used it with very
much else (I think I once used it with something else and it worked,
but I can't recall what, so that's not much help).  I also can't help
you find another one.  I got mine as a gift from the fellow who got me
started in console games, when I went to Norway (gave me a PSone at the
same time).  I don't know where he got it.

It also runs disturbingly hot, even though I normally run it with the
case open.

I took a picture of the back of the case, which is the only place on
the outside of the case where I see any kind of identification markings
at all; I took another picture of the visible side of the PCB with the
case open.  (The other piece of the case is made of the same yellow
plastic as the part you can see, and has nothing of any help on it -
nothing on the outside and nothing but fab-date markings on the
inside.)
