| | 4 | * Motorola MC68EC000, 16-bit external databus, 32MHz |

| | 6 | * 1 to 4M of ROM (not sure yet) - Sharp LH537NWN mask ROM |
| | 7 | * Mass storage : 128KB flash memory - AM29F010 |
| | 8 | * Cartridge port, apparently on memory bus with system ROM and storage flash. The french system comes with cartridges only containing straps, likely shorting some pins enable extra features... The german version seems to have extra flash memory or maybe ROM ? |
