The Scud Race video doesn't work :(...

I wish I had a Set2.1...

I've just uploaded the video, so it will take time for it to be available. ;)

The Dreamcast development unit after the NEC ARC1A was the early Set 4 Katana Development box, still in prototype stages, followed by the Set 5, which includes the HKT-01 Sega Dreamcast/Katana Development Box.

Maybe Windows 98 wasn't out yet?
