[linuxdc-dev] VMS flash handling

[Frederic S. <fre...@sx...>]

 Hello there !

  Some companies sell some competitive "Visual Memory" (with 4 or 8 time
more capacity -> up to 1MB).
  In France, this costs about $30. So 1MB is enough for a full linux
kernel (compressed or not), I wondered if booting my dreamcast from
MAPLE bus was possible ? It would be very fine for me, since these kinds
of "Visual Memory" are usually shipped with serial / parallel port or
USB cable + interface for PC.

  So after cross-compiling, you should have only to upload the code to
the flash and then boot your DC from your joypad ! :)  (kidding, but
this could be more flexible than a home made serial cable).

  Well, does anyone know if all this is possible ?

Thanks,

Fred.
