I was able to speak with someone who worked on the unreleased module project, the Zip Drive Dreamcast.



It is my dream to get my hands on this prototype to conclude my collecting adventure. Nowadays, owning it would be useless but it's the challenge of finding it that I like.

He tells us more about this mysterious accessory, including the reasons for its cancellation.

Being Swiss, I had contacted Swatch in order to know the progress of the project between the watch company and Sega about a watch connected to the Dreamcast. The archivist had done some research, he only found some contracts.

So, basically, if I'm understanding this correctly, Sega wanted to make the Dreamcast even more of a PC?

That'd be cool

It never ceases to amaze me with new information being revealed how ahead of its time the Dreamcast really was.
There were plans of a smartwatch before smartwatches were a thing.
