Any ideas about exactly what this is and what it is supposed to do?

Allows you to connect the CD-Rom drive to a SuperGrafx.

Ahh, SuperGrafx. Um, any idea how? I don't see any way this thing can come apart.

It's also used to connect a CD-ROMē to a PC-Engine LT (I think).

No other clues, then?
Perhaps someone could suggest a forum where such things are discussed with greater frequency?

The picture on the box kind of shows you how to use it.

The White piece plugs into the CD-Rom Deck, the Grey Piece plugs into the back of the Super Grafx's expansion slot (just like the TG16 goes to the TGCD). The misleading thing in the pic that the owner/seller plugged the two pieces into each other...which wouldn't allow for crap.

Gaijin Punch was correct.

It sits directly behind the SuperGrafx.

Nice! Those are useful....to like 3 gamers out of 1000. :D The RAU-30 is basically a connector that allows you to use a CD-ROM with the Supergrafx or the PC Engine LT. I know a couple people looking for one myself...last one I had I sold for around $30. They're rare but low demand and not spendy.

Like I said, I don't see how this thing can come apart... The white piece seems to be rather firmly attached to the grey piece.
Anyway, Mr. Maxlords, if you could point this thread out to those people you know, I would be happy to hear from them. ;)

This is only for the CD-ROM2 unit correct? Because I thought the SuperGrafx plugs in directly to the Super CD-ROM2 unit, without any adapters.
