What is the maximum speed you can get through the IDE? Is it better or worse than recent SD card mods that use the Dreamcast serial?

@ncloet As shown in video, dd(1) command says 1068204 bytes/sec on sequential read.

So, is it really a Dreamcast or an emulator or a modded Dreamcast?

@woolhat1 This is a real dreamcast, with "DCEXT" expansion board designed by Kiyoshi Ikehara.

@METALMAN4Wii Dude read the description. It doesn't say HD anywhere. HDD means hard disk drive.

[METALMAN4Wii]

I don't get how a system made before HD technology was available can be hacked to HD ? but whatever you say also I thought the games have to be in HD for it to display it ? which again regular Dreamcast games aren't....!
