Wow, can you get a shell prompt on one? Is there a hard drive? How was
speech implemented? Embedded linux seems interesting, but there seems to be
nothing accessible to try it on, speech is the big snag, getting a sega
dreamcast to have speech access seems like a fantasy from Star Trek. Even
to do something simple like get sox to process line in to line out may be
usefull if parameters are adjustable with something. It may be able to make
cheap real time effects instead of paying over a thousand for specialized
hardware that the same is probably done in a proprietary way.
