I have no idea if the my current Saturn is a compatible 20-pin drive model. I won't find out till I am home this summer or if my brother does the install. If its not I'll be looking for a compatible Saturn.

More then I would like to admit. €130,00 EUR with shipping to the US.
I love the Saturn and it's the only single system I would drop that kind of money on.

Yes.

Mine is in transit as well! I ended up getting a Black US Saturn with a busted CD drive locally, for practically nothing. Perfect for this kind of mod!
In other news, I was able to get my order in on a USB-GDROM board as well. This one was a bit pricier than the Rhea, so I had to loose a couple arcade boards to fund it. (funny enough, they're games that have perfect ports to the Saturn :) )
Looks like 2015 is going to be my year of Sega! :gobama

That does look cool. How much did you pay and can you share the link to where you ordered from?
Here is a line of the USB-GDROM in action.

I may try the G1-ATA mod when its a little further along and better documented.

And My Brother emailed to let me know that my Saturn is a 20pin model.
