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.
