 |

Nearly half a year ago, an HKT-05 Dreamcast GD-X Duplicator finally came into my possession. The only information that was known about these units is that they were able to duplicate GD-ROM discs while connected to a maximum of 4 Katana GD-Writers at a time, and they were able to dump GD-ROM data onto an internal SCSI hard drive. Without any manuals or documents of any sort I was unable to use it to its full potential. After many attempts to pull some data, I finally gave up and called it quits.
Today, I decided to program the GD-X Duplicator to dump one last GD-ROM disc, a Dreamcast SYSTEM-DISC 2. After it was done, I removed the SCSI hard drive and connected it directly to an Adaptec 2940U SCSI card connected to my PC. To my success, I was able to view dumped data off of the hard drive!
In approximately 15 minutes, I was able to successfully dump data from a Dreamcast SYSTEM-DISC 2 (nearly 1 GB of data)!

| Plus, one can pick up small (<9GB) SCSI drives on eBay for next to nothing. |
