Sega Mega PC

			Under what operating system did the Sega Mega PC run? Was it a custom job or just plain Windows 3.1?

		Arakon		Jun 1, 2004
			Plain windows. Technically, it was just a 386 and a Genesis in one system, and you switched between the monitor output of the two.

			I used to have one of those pieces of S#$%! these are the specs if i can remember,... Intel 386DX @25Mhz 2MB of Ram 40MB HDD Adlib Sound Card Normal FDD Super VGA Monitor Crappy Amstrad Speakers Crappy Amstrad Joystick It also came standard with Windows 3.0, Prince of Persia, F15 Strike Eagle, Steel Empire, Jimmy White Wirlwind Snooker and my favourite (no really..) Elite Plus! Looking back on it, it was actually pretty cool except for the 40meg HDD. I remember buying XWing and that took up a whoping 14MB of my HDD!!!!!!!!! Internally, the system has two totally seperate mother boards, one of the PC (with its custom Amstrad Blitter chipe that were never used) and a Mobo for the Megadrive. They did however share the same video output and power input.

			I have been trying in desperation to acquire either a MegaPC or Teradrive (pref. the latter) for over 5 years now. I see them on Yahoo! Japan now and then, but I can't fathom the shipping charges involved. People think a Divers 2000 Dreamcast is expensive to ship!
