I have 6 of these (one of a different style), and I don't really need 5 of the same thing, so I thought I'd see if anyone wanted one of this style.
These are made for the super famicom since the super nintendo has tabs that keep these from pluggin in. The will work with a snes if you remove the tabs from the system (even a pair of pliers can remove them easily) or if you get a super famicom to snes converter.
There is no game on them. They'd be an item for the dev hardware collector.
I was told second hand that these were used very early in the dev cycle before they had any other dev hardware (ie person worked for a devolper but not back in this era). I don't know why only a few of them have been showing up now. All the chips have 1990 dates. They may have been more popular in japan since the style is very similar to the famicom proto boards in ram adapters that were used for mm3 proto carts. I've not seen them used in a proto so they may have been used more for work than for samples? I'd love to have more info if anyone has any.
They're basically the same case style as the powerfest but they're not the same circuit board.

So, please feel free to make an offer on 1 to 4 of them. I've been more active on famicom world than here lately and have a good reputation over there. I've got almost 300 all positives one ebay (sevast). Trading would probably only happen for other interesting dev stuff.
