Like a way of attaching an external HDD? Or would that work?
Nobody has found a way to run a Harddrive easily from the Dreamcast, so we went the solid state solution and this was developed after somebody found out you could run SD Cards through the serial port.
Just think, I will have a 32GB "Solid State Harddrive" on my Dreamcast, and I can run all my working roms from the system without ever taking out the Dreamshell disc.
I wanted to do what this guy did, and make a slot loading SD port on the side of his machine but mine looks like the ports on the back are filled up like PC slots with a small flash drive.
