I've had one like that (i got rid of it). I think post October of 2000 is the magic date to avoid. I have 4 Dreamcasts now and they are all good to go fro reading backups

This is something specific for the Dreamcast?  Interesting...  Is this the kind of thing I could get a knock-off or should I go Sega brand only?

Yes, it is specific for Dreamcast. I read an article a while back comparing the SEGA vs the TOMEE cable and it held up very well. Almost no differences. I would just go with the offbrand (the SEGA brand is grossly expensive).

Looks like this would still be a small investment.  I know I'd want this cable, and then I'd need a decent sized memory card and a game or two.

Wow.  You and me are in the same boat.  I just picked me up a DC from CL as well.  Also looking for games.  So far I grabbed Grandia II, SF3: Double Impact (backgrounds from SF3:2nd Impact and SF3:New Generation > SF3:Third Strike) and Shenmue.  I know I want Skies of Arcadia but then i'm stuck.  RPGs are said to suck with the exception of a few and maybe I'll grab some fighters and shoot-em-ups.  Kickstarter games seem to trickle out every so often as well.  I'm also looking to get a VGA box; i heard the hanzo (http://www.beharbros.com/#!hanzo/c1gph) is a good way to go (albeit twice as much as the generic ones you can find on ebay) but I'm not sure I want to spend that much when I only have a few games.  sigh.
