Bitmaster had an article on this with full schematics and drivers but his
site is down.  If anyone has his e-mail I can get the pages from him and
mirror them on my site.  I think I might still have some saved, I'll put
them up and give you the link.

Thanks,

The latter is in the NetBSD/dreamcast FAQ. Yes, it's possible.

X Windows is running, a snapshot is available here:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/dreamcast/snapshot/20031210/

See the mail archives for the status.

Thankyou very much, I'm impressed at the pages I'm seeing.  I didn't catch
though if you were answering specifically about the hard drive or if you
were answering that, "yes, it is possible to upgrade the ram"

Possible or not, if you've got any links/articles on the subject, I'd love
to read up on it.

(not the easiest discussion to find on google)

Thanks again.
Jonathan
