Did you ever get your Sharkport to work? Mine is new and has yet to work. I'm hopeful but need more info on how to check if saves from the card to the PC are actually in the PC. When I gt it working I'd like to write a better FAQ about SharkPort.
Contact me at BD222@juno.com.
Anyone you know got this to work? I'd be willing to call long distance to speak with them.

Here's how I got mine to work (it took awhile):

To be safe, download the latest Sharkport (about 5 MB)software from Interact's website and uzip it all into a single new folder.

Plug the USB into both components (with PS2 turned off)

Before you install the Sharkport software: On your PC, go to Settings->Control Panel->System, then find the USB device and update its driver by browsing for the Drivers folder from the Sharkport software you downloaded--or from the disk that came with the Sharkport.

Once the driver is set up, install the Sharkport software

Don't run the Sharkport program yet. First, turn on your PS2 and insert the disk provided with your Sharkport. Give it a few seconds to load.

Once you can see the interface on your TV, open the Sharkport program on your PC. Now you should be able to see the contents of your memory card and the files on your PC by playing around with the lower section of the interface on your PC.

To move files from your PC to your memory card, first you must import saves. Once you see the file you want in the Games Found column, check the box and click restore. That's it. The file should now be on your memory card.

If you haven't made it this far because of a USB connection error, you may have to email Interact and request a new PS2 boot disk. There are numerous ones based on the date number (ex. 1A, 2B, etc.) found on the back of your PS2.

The problems I was having seemed to have to do with order of procedure--like installing software before a driver or opening the Sharkport program on my PC before turning on my PS2. So try different successions to get it to work.
