Hey guys,
I recently bought an MVS single slot board, but for the life of me I cannot identify it. The black casing just barely covers the board, so it sort of seems like the MV-1B, but the components seem to be in the wrong spots for this one. Like the volume control knob in the front.
Doesn't appear to have any repair work done on it (all of the solder points look to be machine made). Also, seems like all of the chips are socket based, so that kind of knocks the MV-1B out.
Can anyone help me identify it? I take it as far as the battery mod, removing the little baby 470ohm resistor is what I need to do if I want to add a coin cell battery as well, correct? Such a small little battery, and I don't want acid damage on the board
TIA everyone (I did look around to see if I could find identification as to the type of board, but I failed.. and it didnt match up to any on www.hardmvs.com that I could tell).
I know busted has voted boot, and I am inclined to agree, but how common are MVS Systems as far as being bootleg? Seems like a lot of work for very little return from number of chips and parts.
