Hi,

Got my very first neo in the post today, a 1 slot mvs.

Just wondering what the various connectors are for though.

Looking at it from above, with the cart slot at the top, I've got 2 sockets at the top left, both with little securing arms at either end of the sockets. Under those are speaker and headphone sockets, obvious what these are for.

On the other side I've got 1p and 2p whilst also having another set of 1p and 2p at the bottom. Why two sets??

It's also got a mono/stereo switch just above and left of the jamma connector. I thought it had to re-wirred for stereo.

Finally, the s/n is 006125.

How old does that make it??

Cheers

Mark

If it has stero sound and is a 1 slot, then it is the older model. Also, the extra connectors may be for memory cards. The newer one slots don't have support for a memory card, (its built into the mother board). Stero sound is gone from the newer ones too. The two little extra sockets may be for extra controller devices, like the track ball or majong controller.
