The Lan Adapter has a sticker that clearly identifies it as a HIT-0300 Lan Adapter. The BBA generally has a barcode sticker that has the adapter's MAC address on it.

Of course, if the stickers are removed, there's not an easy way of telling which it is, short of trying to use it with something (homebrew or otherwise).
Yeah, I'm going to check as soon as I get it but I'm not too worried. I'm positive it's the BBA.

On another note, there was recently another such lot on ebay. Dreamcast, 1 game, 6 controllers (including two blue ones), 2 light guns, 1 VMU, and a BBA. That one was listed at $60 buy it now.

A good friend of mine snatched that one up as soon as I told him about it.

It's price definitely has not gone down. These are just a couple examples of people listing it but don't know they have it or don't know what it's worth.

In this case, that's pretty much exactly what happened. Although, in the one I told my friend about, the ebay seller at least knew to mention the BBA in the title and description.

I connected fine with Q3A but I needed Dream Passport to configure PSO. I'm burning it now.
