64 pin model 2? According to Install Diagrams there are 3 types: M1 64 pin,M2 32 pin and one called sanyo board...So where does this machine fit in?

Hobie is right its a 64 Pin Model 2..........you can tell from the Round Power on button and the Chip on the Laser Board.

I just googled and it seems it's lot of work getting this machine to boot CD-R's..
I might opt out to get a legit Model 2 32pin version.Unless someone on this forum can mod this? of course I'll pay for the time.

yes there are some reviews ive found as well ......but ive found more people with the Racketboy chips being DOA. I bought 2 RB chips and 1 was DOA so i switched to Robb Webbs with a way higher success rate.

How about chip from Segastyle,V3 universal for Model 2 64 pin? I'm considering that possibly now that i read some feedbacks.
