I might still have the contrib somewhere, but a better place to look is http://www.m17n.org/dodes/ecos/. That takes you to a CVS repository containing http://cvs.m17n.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/ecos/ecos/packages/fs/iso/?cvsroot=superh You should also be aware that a dreamcast does not have an ordinary CD drive. Instead it has a GD drive with ~1GB capacity. From another website: "A GD-ROM disk actually consits of two data regions, separated by a data-less separator ring. The inner region contains a normal Yellow Book CD-ROM track, and a Red Book CD-DA track. This region can be read in any CD drive. The outer region (outside the separator ring) is the high-density area which contains the actual game data (both files and CD-DA audio)." I don't know if that affected the ISO support, they may have supported the inner region only. Bart -- Bart Veer eCos Configuration Architect http://www.ecoscentric.com/ The eCos and RedBoot experts
