If your modding skills are on the same level as your typing skills, you're screwed.

But still, I am not convinced.

bITmASTER and Kiyoshi Ikehara have done it, I believe. I think Dan Potter tried it but I don't recall whether or not he mentioned getting anywhere with it.

building the isa adaptor and installing a isa ethernet card is what they did right? For the money you spend doing that you could just buy one.

Let's see if I can break this down for you.

Someone made an ISA card adaptor for the DC.

That Adaptor would read ISA NICs.

Said Adaptor COSTS MORE TO BUILD THAN BUYING A BBA.

Got it?

That won't even function as a BBA, it only works with the netbsd distribution for the dreamcast. So its usability is very limited also.

Maybe if you count labor. Otherwise, you really need to find a new supplier.

edit: either that, or you need to spill the beans on who's selling cheap BBAs. :D

Either way, it would only be useful for experimentation.
