Re: [ECOS] redboot on dreamcast

[jo at neolabs dot be]

Ok maybe I missed the ball here... the dreamcast probably does not
care if the redboot.BIN can do iso or not. I guess it _knows_ itself
how to read the iso fs from the cdrom to _load_ reboot from it...

Still why the error? 

An answer to the scramble question, or better a hint for a document
describing the procedure itself would still be welcome though (Comstedt
page is known, but does not comment on redboot)

Thanks

Jo
