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

		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 !
