Right, I was just bored and was looking through some threads on various sites about making a hard drive for the Dreamcast and I had a random thought - this has probably been covered many times before though?
The Dreamcast had a Zip Drive made (and recently sold on ebay) that actually worked with the Dreamcast - so would it be possible to make a Dreamcast Zip Drive work like a hard drive would?
I have read that Iomega who made the DC ZD have said that the DC ZD is basically exactly the same as a PC one with alittle 'tweaking' - would it be possible for someone to get one working with a DC now?

Dreamcast Zip Drive?
Dreamcast, it's still thinking.
Over-clocked : Dreamcast currently running at 240Mhz (switchable)
Internal VGA, extra cooling fans, disc activity LED, SD card reader done
Dreamcast HD wanted

Re: Dreamcast Zip Drive?
Why not just make a DC DDS tape drive? It'd be just as useful. There was never any software made for it, so it's not like with a homemade fake zip drive you'd get new features in games or anything.
