Hello from Gregg C Levine
Josh, when was this, that you obtained your Dreamcast? In addition to the BA
device, and the keyboard? I'd assume you also bought the mouse, too. Also,
where was this? In the US, or Canada, or overseas someplace? I have the
basic unit, and the keyboard, also a mouse, but no BA, each time I visit
that HK based vendor, he's out. When they are in, the price is obscene. Also
did you see my posting of a few days ago?
