Really? I heard the refurb DCs had the updated bios (no homebrew/hacks.) Or maybe it's because the DCs were refurbished by the store, and they probably don't have the tools to update the bios.

not quite. the whole motherboard design for these dreamcasts is different, it's not just an updated bios. in these newer dreamcasts, the gd-rom controller is entirely integrated into the motherboard (so the entire thing is basically one board + the power supply + the controller interface board)
