genesis serial port ?

[zaze]

I've got 2 genesis (hugh 2 megadrive called in France) and one have got a strang port on the bottom. for what is it ? Maybe a modem ?

If the port is on the bottom and to the left of the unit, its for the sega cd

actually bottom right.

no, the port is near the a/V out. it is called "ext"

the mega cd port is on the right not on the bottom !

the model is the following 1600-09. i've got another one genesis a 1601-09 and the strange port have just disappear !

that's a serial port that was used for the japanese modem.. or supposed to anyways, it never had much success, so it was removed.

p: a modem on a genesis what a strange idea !

X-Band was its name and I miss it and would LOVE to see a WORKING US version emulated....even if the modem didnt work...I want to see the old interface again....
