Discuss modifications you have done or plan to do to your Dreamcast or any other hardware, or discuss devices you want to build. If your console does not work or is acting up, ask about fixing it in here.

Yepper, we got a bunch of smarties here They are all the same. I have never seen or heard of a 5V drive, but every one I have seen plainly has 3.3V etched into its metal plating. If what he says is true, you might just want to try and find it on the drive, just to be sure.

I actually don't know how true it is. I just read it somewhere.

Perhaps your source was misled. Not all drives state "3.3V" on them, as the one in my dad's DC doesn't, but they are still compatible.

Yeah, I figured that. I didn't know how true it was, and all my drivers have 3.3v on them. I just read somewhere before about a 5v drive, never actually saw one.
