Questions about Dreamcast sd card adapter

[tech3475]

Ive heard about dreamshell and using an sd card adapter which im think about buying to reduce wear on the laser.

Is it worth picking one up and if so, is there any where reliable which ships to the uk?

this SD reader use Serial port and is not really fast...
If you want to use something really good -> try to get the GDEmu

I have heard of it but ive heard the sd card can be ok, cost less and i wont need to mod my dreamcast to include an extra fan or lose the gdrom entirely.

just placed an order right now for these guys. $20 USD shipped is pretty cheap, hope it's not a scam.

If it's to play games, no, it's NOT GOOD !! Loading takes 10/15 min !!! This SD reader use serial port witch is very very very SLOW !
The only GOOD way to read game from SD card, it this king of DiskEmu
