| I don't know too much about this modem.
I beleive it was used for a home banking system, similar to one that could be accessed
with the Famicom via modem. If anyone knows more, please let me know. The speed of the
modem is unknown, or who made it. What is interesting about the modem, is that is connects
via the controller port; the second controller port I assume. You'd expect it to hook to
the Super Famicom vida the expansion port on the bottom, like the Famicom or NES. Since
the Satalliview required being attached to the bottom of the Super Famicom, maybe they
assumed attaching it via the controller port was a good idea, so the user wouldn't have to
switch devices on the bottom. The modem bears the official Super Famicom seal, so I assume
it is licensed. Info and pics ripped
