Aye. I know a girl who's working on it at their Soho offices. It's a crock of shit though and doesn't give you access to many of the devices [0] Without trying to sound like a stuck record - for hackability the Dreamcast has NetBSD, Linux and the very sweet KalistOS which has a full TCP/IP stack (with seamless support for the modem, serial connection of the Broadband adaptors), multithreading and a virtual filesystem that presents all storage devices (the VMU, GDRom drive, virtual FS mounted on the boot disk or a drive mounted over the serial coders cable) as filesystems with the same interface. Plus they're only 50 quid (or 50 dollars). The coders cable is about 20 quid (or you can make one yourself), there are adaptors so that normal mice and keyboards work. The onyl really problem is that Broadband Adaptors are tricky to get hold of and about 70-80 quid (some jokers on Ebay try and sell them for 200 dollars though).
