I had the same problem with my xbox drive, but I found 1 cdrw that worked with it. It was a 4 year old 650MB cdrw that is scratched to hell but for some reason thats the only burnt cd my xbox will pick up, so its what I use to load up my soundtracks. I've tried many brands of cdr/rw, including the same brand of that 1 cd... but nothing else works. I guess you could always mod it and send files through your pc, but thats a bit of a pain in the arse.
As for the topic on hand, I was going to get into running my dc line through my pc but the more I read up on it the more it looked like a pain... and the possiblity of it not working after all that work got me away from it altogether. I would've done it if I didn't have a 2nd phone line (which I never used otherwise and had a plugin close to my dc) and my phone service which granted me 7 free hours of dailup per month (netzero worked for a few months and was free unlimited...but that stopped). Once I stopped using dc online (after sega cut down the servers) I got rid of the phone line... I miss online with Dreamcast Good luck to you getting it to work.
Well, just FYI, there are a few games that can still be played online. F355 challenge is still up, there is an unofficial PSOv2 server, and Quake3 is still played on a few servers as well.
I tried the Line voltage with a diagram i saw from howstuffworks.com where all it said was required was a 9v battery and 300 ohm resistor in series, it didn't work.
So I'm gonna follow the website (add a 47mFD capcitor in parrallel) and see what happens, and get it down by a professional electriction (ie just a family member, so no charge )
I live in Cyprus, land of "do it tommorow", so please bear with me!
I've tried this with Win2k pro. When I have my modem connection created I get intermediate stalls in Windows. It's as if my computer freezes every 5 seconds. When I got to this point I just deleted the modem connection I made and things returned to normal.
I'm still interested in making this work, but havn't put much effort. Till then I'll just tie up the phone line and use my dialup ISP.
