I live in Japan. I have an American Dreamcast and American PSO. Seeing as how it'd be nice to be able to talk to Japanese players using kanji and kana, I was thinking about picking up a Japanese keyboard with the key that allows switching between Japanese characters and Romaji. The new Japanese DC keyboard is sweet -- it's tiny, clear plastic, and costs a whopping 4000 yen. Before I plunk down that kind of cash for a stupid keyboard, I want to know -- is it compatible with the American system? Anyone have it or know? On an old Sega web site, they say that ANY imported peripheral doesn't work on the Dreamcast. Of course, the Dance Dance pad and the Samba de Amigo maracas work just fine on mine...

Please help? Please? Anyone? Bueller? Ferris Bueller?
