Dreamcast Web Server Running Off Memory Card

Adrian writes "I have written a new file system for Linux - to read and write files on the Sega Dreamcast's visual memory unit (VMU)- a small slab of flash memory used by the console to save game files. To see it in action - and see a DC serve some html, go to the Landslide test server - though I have no doubt that micro_http, the web server I am using (said to be the world's smallest), will result in the quickest Slashdotting in history :)" Gentlemen, start your mirrors now.

Mirror Running on Another Dreamcast

[schnarff]

I've posted a mirror of this site (based upon the text a previous poster said it contained, since the server appears to be down) on my own Dreamcast.

As my page says, the Dreamcast is running NetBSD 1.6.1, with its connection to the Internet being a 608/128 ADSL modem. It's living behind an OpenBSD 3.1 firewall that's just redirecting the port appropriately.

Hopefully, since this isn't on the front page, it won't get Slashdotted...but it ought to be interesting to see how many hits it can take before it goes down.

Note that, for some odd reason, I seem to be able to get to the page through Lynx from a box on another network, but not through the boxes on the same LAN. If you have problems getting to the page, try Lynx for the fun of it and let me know. ;-)
