I'm just curious, but when did the second incarnation of the original snes design (NOT the mini!) come out? I'm talking about the model with the molded 'eject' button -- not the printed one.

Let's see...

The RAM chips on my SNS-CPU-GPM-01 board put "9304" so I might venture to say that it was around late '92 - early '93.

It came out in October 1997 according to the Gaming Historian. This is mentioned in the Wikipedia page and it references to an article written in 1997 from Gamespot.

Now you know Gamespot is older than you think.

This is actually the snes mini model. I'm talking about the second run of the original snes design.
