Forgive me if this is a newbie question, but - is the BBA slot just a
PCI bus, or something alien?
The NetBSD boot screen lists a PCI bridge when I have the BBA hooked up,
which suggests it's a stock network chip with a bridge chip connecting it
to the Dreamcast's bus.
If this is the case, any idea if Sega is selling these chips to
third-party developers? :) [dusts off soldering iron]
