Here is a link to the download for others who wish to try out Windows 3.0 on their Dreamcast (keyboard is required to get option to boot to Windows 3)

Hey, do you still have the rar for that? The links are dead and it's nowhere to be found online. If you have it I'll put it up on Dreampipe

"In the lifetime of the Dreamcast product, you'll see a lot more folks with PC experience building Windows CE titles," Robison said. For example, Sega's software development arm will bring a Windows CE-based version of a car racing game to the U.S. market by year's end. Probably four titles will use Windows CE by year's end, Microsoft estimates.

Robison estimates that eventually about 30 percent of Sega's game titles will be Windows CE-based.

Never knew this existed. Windows 3.0 brings back some memories - I'm getting old.
