RGB Super CD Rom 2?
« on: November 29, 2014, 05:16:48 AM »
Anyone know how much space there is inside of one of these guys?

Looking at picking one up and would like to do an RGB changeover, if there is room...  I can't seem to find any pictures of the insides of these.

Theres plenty of room and its easy to tap the rgb at the expansion connector.   Swap out the din5 for a din8 jack and youre good!

Great, thanks!
I have seen how crowded it is inside the white units and assumed there was lots more space inside this thing, but better to be sure!

Out of curiosity, what are those going for out west? Here in Japan they usually clap around $300.

If you had to get clap to own one, at least you would know who the true fans were.

That's a steep price. I guess a little antibiotics would fix you right up. Would we be require to keep said clap as long as we wanted to keep the CD ROM?

300 is about what I've seen at the top. Usually they sell for less. This particular model is a lot harder (for me) to find. I have a grey/orange core unif and I just can't match it with a briefcase.

you could probably find one cheap with sound issues. the caps die in those and eventually  suffocate the audio on the DIN.

I paid 150 for it, just the bare unit. Probably over paid...
Would anyone know the size of the ac adapter plug so I can make one?

I think it can use the same adapter as a Turbo / PC Engine Duo

Yep, it's the same adapter as the turbo/pce duo's.
Turbo fan since 1991 after owning my first system.

Thanks again!
I'll do some digging and see what size it is exactly and snag some connectors from digikey or somewhere similar

Edit
Does OD 6.3mm. ID 3.0mm sound right?
I know the pce plug is a fairly common 5.5mm...and I think 2.1mm id

Ok, Im having some confusion regarding the polarity of the adapter.  Some sources say center negative and some say center positive.  Which is it?

I use a Sega mk-1602 psu for my PCE and I know that it is center negative.  I would assume the same would be true for the CDRom2...
Also, some sources say the voltage is only 10v instead of 12?  I really assume 12 is correct, since my Sega adapter measures at 13v (but labelled 9v)
Im going to go the radio shack psu route on this.  12v 1000mA, since thats the closest I can find at a reasonable price.  I would get an NEC adapter if I could find one that didn't come from China.
