     1.5 +=======
     1.6 +
     1.7 +None of this would have been possible without the work of many people in the
     1.8 +dreamcast homebrew community, for whom I have the utmost respect. In
     1.9 +particular, I'd like to thank:
    1.10 +
    1.11 +* Marcus Comstedt (http://mc.pp.se/dc/) for much educational documentation
    1.12 +
    1.13 +* Andrew Kieschnick (http://adk.napalm-x.com/dc/index.html) for the invaluable
    1.14 +  dcload-ip utility.
    1.15 +
    1.16 +* Maiwe (http://www.ludd.ltu.se/~jlo/dc/) for the excellent PVR2 and AICA
    1.17 +documentation
    1.18 +
    1.19 +* bITmASTER (http://www.fuzzymuzzle.com/Bitmaster/bITmASTERs_dCdeV.htm) for
    1.20 +(among other things) the SPU dma examples.
    1.21 +
    1.22 +And of course, last but by no means least
    1.23 +* Dan Potter (http://cadcdev.sourceforge.net/) for almost single handedly
    1.24 +jump starting the DC homebrew scene with libdream and KOS
