[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: REPAIR GUIDE - TurboDuo/PC Engine Duo: Total capacitor replacement chart]

I did a (nearly) total cap replacement on my TurboDuo and TurboExpress, with the help of a lab technician with expert soldering skills.
I missed the 3.3uF/50V cap and didn't touch the BRAM cap.
But otherwise I tried to make a part list for anyone who wants to do the job with correct size parts.
I posted it here in case anyone else finds it helpful.  There's a few empty fields (e.g. things I forgot or part numbers covered up by gunk).  Feel free to fill them in.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / The SCSI adapter was a rumor?]

Once upon a time I was shopping at Weird Stuff Warehouse and found an unusual PC CD-ROM drive.  But it looked familiar and I bought it anyway.  Sure enough it was the TurboGrafx CD drive with a SCSI adapter.  I figured this was a cool way to get started with CD games on my Turbografx-16.

Until I realized it's alot nicer to just have the TurboDuo.  So I bought that instead and sold off the rest of the Turbo hardware to 4jays.  This was years ago.

Then the other day I saw the
Wikipedia article claiming this was a prototype.

So now I feel a bit sad.  Was this actually an unreleased unit?  I did scan top and bottom of the system before selling it.

It's the only one I've ever seen, but with the plethora of NEC hardware I felt it couldn't be unique.  ...?
