I haven't posted in a while, but as soon as I saw this I knew I had to come post it here.

I wonder if the bios to that thing will ever get dumped.

From Assembler forums, I believe the owner said it's the same BIOS as a model-2 USA stock saturn. Can't remember exactly...

I'm mildly curious about how the thing is designed internally (current theory: it uses an old VA0 board, with a riser with expansion slots where the SH1 card usually goes; the expansion ports are mapped to the A-bus CS2 area like the cartridge version of the Netlink, and since the Netlink cartridge doesn't have the same cartridge ID mechanism as eg. the RAM carts they can be used simultaneously) but otherwise I can't bring myself to care all that much. Companies experiment all the time, but only a few make it out to the market.
