If you're one of the many like myself who still enjoy their Dreamcast or are aspiring DC hackers, then you may want to pay attention to a quiet announcement (http://www3.csi-msp.com/bbsite/web/news/news75.html) by CSI, the Japanese manufacturer of the Dreamcast Broadband Adapter (http://www3.csi-msp.com/bbsite/) (flaky, but understandable translation provided by the fish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/urltrurl?tt=url&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww3.csi-msp.com%2Fbbsite%2Fweb%2Fnews%2Fnews75.html&lp=ja_en)). If you have no idea what the BBA is, read the official page here (http://www.sega.com/help/hardware/broadband.jhtml). If CSI gets 1000 pre-orders for the unit, they will be willing to make another production run. Keep in mind that these units are very useful for the Dreamcast Linux efforts and NetBSD/Dreamcast (http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/dreamcast/),. For the record, Japanese units work on US systems."
For the remaining players of the DC PSO that are desperate for a BBA, maybe you can signup though this.

I posted this to General last week. Of course it got moved to Off-Topic, so no wonder nobody saw it.
