What is the differance between the the Arcade Card and the Arcard Pro?

PC-Engine noob here... Is there a differance Arcade card VS the Arcade Card Pro?

Arcade Card Duo is for the Duo consoles - it contains less memory as the Duo's don't need it/have their own memory.

Arcade Card Pro contains extra memory which is needed by the briefcase (IFU-30) setup. It is compatible with all consoles but as mentioned is only mandatory within a briefcase setup.

Arcade Card Duo is for the Duo consoles and nothing else - it contains less memory as the Duo's don't need it/have their own memory.

Arcade Card Pro is compatible with all consoles and contains extra memory needed by setups such as the briefcase setup/SuperCD-ROM2 setup.

One correction, SuperCD-ROM2 DOES contain the extra memory can be used with the Arcade Card Duo card.  To recap:

- Arcade Card Pro: Briefcase CD-ROM2 (with original PCE, CoreGrafx 1/2, LT, SuperGrafx), TurboGrafx CD-ROM (region modded or with converter card)
- Arcade Card Duo: Duo, Duo-R, Duo-RX, Super-CDROM2 (with original PCE, CoreGrafx 1/2, LT, SuperGrafx), LaserActive
