As others have said, even if all this is capable of doing is homebrew that alone would open up the 'scene' at large. After all the dreamcast needs some sort of storage drive, and this would fit the bill.
So, what kind of transfer speed are we looking for on data, and what would reasonably be possible within that speed? I'm asking because of things like emulators, apps, and the like. What would be possible here in terms of homebrew that takes advantage of this?
I'll get one for sure.
Even thou I haven't been coding for my Dreamcast in a lot of time, I still love it! :)
I'd be a bit more interested in a way to hook up a hard drive, and index all my stuff on that, but I could see myself spending ~$30 on something like this. I'd rather have my emus on SD cards than discs; easier to fine-tune a romlist that way without wasting inexpensive discs that could be better wasted on something else :P
I'll have 2!
Could this possible be used as extra save storage space? or Only petty things like... drawing and playing home brew games?

Nice, that is a must have for me. My original VMU unit has a Godzilla game that I can no longer play (sadly) which I downloaded 9 years ago from the official Dreamcast browser portal, but with this I can play it again on one of my many VMU units I currently have within my possession since I found a site that has VMU games. :cool:
Yeah I'd definitely get one, I wonder if they are available yet.
I would be interested in buying one.
even though its been shot down, it would still be nice to run the dreamcast games i own (legally) and some how put them on the Card to run .. just saves the he** out of the laser...
but really good for homebrew because putting the binary on a Read\Write Format is not wasteful, but using 10MB out of 650MB (or 700MB) is just wasteful no matter how cheap the CDs will get..
plus this will be better than broadband adapter because now its more available to us! (by better than the BBA i meant for coding \ debugging) i'm buying one,
