But, is it true that Sony removed the RSOD in the slim version of the PS2? Because i'm not so sure.
Also, another question to be answered: Did the PS1 RSOD make any noise when it came on?
They did not. it just removed HDD support
Technically Slim's could still be hard-modded to support HDD's, but yeah they did remove physical normal HDD support
.
The PS1 I don't recall making any special noise when an incorrect or damaged disc was put in. I'm not sure since it's been so long. I might dig out my old PSone and try it later.

It treated bad CDs as Audio CDs

The first slims had a place on the board where you could mod in an HDD connector. But later ones removed even that.
I know this because I played FFXI on my PS2 for many years.
Ah yeah, I remember reading about them doing that. Sony were aware of the modding scene and tried to eliminate it with future revisions as much as they could.

I can only imagine it was to thwart HD loader. Else why would they give a crap if you hooked up a HDD, even if you had to mod your board?
