Hoping someone can answer this for me, I pulled my Saturn out of the closet after a solid 10 years of being packed away and started back on my most recent Shining Force 3 Scenario 3 save. I'm using a legit Sega backup ram cart but with the age of it it's making me a little nervous considering it's probably a 200+ hour save file between the 3 scenario's and decided to buy a Saturn FDD so I could back up those saves as well as all of my other old ones. Found one at a decent price but the seller mentioned that you would need a step down converter for it, really wondering if anyone knows the actual power range of the board. I've ran older Japanese systems like the SuperGrafx and PC-FX on 120 with no issues before so thinking he's just saying that as a precaution but if anyone knew for sure it would be great.

So, it came in today and just in case anyone else is wondering in the future it doesn't give a range on the power supply, only lists 100v on the casing and no voltage markings on the board when I took the power supply apart so went with a stepdown just to be safe. Sadly the drive fails about 75% of the time on the disks I've tried with it and is really noisy so guess now it's time to replace the drive.
