WTF is this mod in my 32X?!
wiggy:
Finally got around to looking at that second Gen/CD/32X combo that I got. Found this in the 32X.
What on earth is this mod? I'm not really a huge Sega 16-bit guy, so I don't even have a clue what this mod is (supposed) to be doing. Help a brotha out if you can.

I don't claim to know anything about Sega (and I don't), but what am I looking at, exactly?
wiggy:
Wow, after popping a 2nd unit open and then looking around the web a bit, it would appear that this is how they came. There's a mess of resistors and random wires that are hot glued to the PCB all over the place in these things. It's like Steve Wozniak made these things in his garage or something. I can't believe Sega put these things on retail shelves like this! That's ballzy right there.
Dan-Fu:
Looking at that picture I understand your confusion of thinking it was a mod. :D
wiggy:
I know, right? How crazy is that? Man, they really pushed this thing to market in a hurry it seems. Never seen an off-the-shelf piece of electronics looking like this.
