Three types of MV-1???

OK, I was just working on a few MV-1 boards and I noticed they're all different! Two of them are pictured at hardmvs.

One is MV1-1 with the metal cart holder.

But the other is the MV-1T, with a plastic holder. There are some differences on the board itself. Note where the battery is relative to the cart holder.

Those types are shown at hardmvs.

But I have another MV1-1 that only has two connectors between the main board and cart board, rather than three like the other 1-slots I have.

????

Using search for this is miserable.

Geez, this gets more and more confusing all the time! D-Lite, do you have any pictures for reference? Thanks.

The original MVS-1 was the huge rectangular board with the metal cart holder. It had the two side connectors for the memory card board. This was also the only 1 slot to be able to handle the memory card option.

The MVS-1F and MVS-1T were both square with slightly different board layouts. The metal cartholder from the MVS-1 would work. The center connector maye be ommitted; it was only used for power and ommitted later on.

The smaller rectangular boards began with the MV-1FZ and then went to MV-1A and MV-1B.

I dont know the 1 slot series after that since that was when I left.

Actually the 1T is the same size as the MV-1. The 1F is slightly shorter. And the metal cart holder doesn't fit on the MV-1T due to placement of components.

Spanish bios.

I think the board was identical. It made for an easy way to tell a parallel conversion :)
