It would be real neat to use a dreamcast as an external 'harddrive' but can't see any place to get info on the pinouts or where I could even buy it...

Here is where I first found out about it, and would like to know how the cable is supposed to function and used... (eg: how would you get the files on the dreamcast, and what type of modding would you need to get the dreamcast to read your custom disks?)
 
dont you mean external cdrom drive, as there is no hdd on the dreamcast.
 
FYI, the Dreamcast plays homebrew discs right outta the box, even pirated games. I think some late versions of it can't do it without tweaking the laser, but both of mine run CD-Rs and even CD-RWs perfect B)

Sweet! ~.~

Well all I would need to know now is how this cable works (what games/programs work with it) and where can I get a game cable like this somewheres.

Also something that's cool with Dreamcasts is you can hack the VMU's!
