Sega replaced GD-ROMs in it's Arcade solutions - KyRol - 21.05.2014 00:13
I do not even know it does that message matter. Anyway I'm Dreamshell's enthusiast and I hope this message will be helpful for community purposes. Last time I went back to Arcades and I found breaking news for me. Sega recently released a Compact Flash device compatible with Naomi 1 & 2 / Triforce (Type 3) and Chihiro (Type 3). Naomi is HW which in some cases is really close to Dreamcast. Maybe cheap way to replace our GD-ROM drives is at hand? Could you check that? Below I publish sources of my knowledge:

This maybe interesting, especially when is meant something about netbooting!

its useless for Dreamcast, Naomi DIMM board works in different way.
simply speaking DIMM board itself is kind of GD-ROM/Cart replacement device, like GD-Emu, so its not really matters from what device it reads data to internal memory, GD or CF.
