As the thread title states: is there a full/partial dissassembly of the Sega CD BIOS?
With the recent release of the Dreamcast SD loader - I think it would be worthwhile to at least examine the possibility of building a similar device for the Sega CD.
Is there a full/partial dissassembly of the Sega CD BIOS?

Launching homebrew with SD on dreamcast is possible since a long time.

This article on Kaneda's front page of SpritesMind should get people started on basic technical information about the Sega CD's operation.
Also, from the same developer is a SD card loader replacement for the Sega Saturn called Rhea. From a hardware standpoint, a Saturn is essentially a Sega Genesis CD 32x with additional, and better unified hardware, and I believe the CDC protocal in the Sega CD and Sega Saturn are similar. Might be worth to see what is similar between both CDC protocals and what SD Card loader hardware/code techniques could be adapted/retrofitted to the Sega CD.
