- Anyone know anything about the Sega Genesis game console? I opened one up
- and there is some interesting stuff inside. A 68000 microprocessor, a
- Z80 microprocessor, a couple large Sega chips ( each surface mount with about
- 25 pins all all four sides ), A yamaha chip ( I imagine for sound ), several
- Sony chips ( video? ) and a 53 MHz clock. I really didn't see any memory
- chips, but maybe I just didn't look hard enough...
-
- Anyone know about the architecture of this machine. Why two microprocessors?
