    They had another which had a sliding front to reveal the Mega Drive slot. I think it was light grey.

        That’s right! It’s referenced in the video as well (and from memory Neil also mentioned it in a previous video, but I wouldn’t be able to link to it tbf)

      The channel has been renamed as “RMC - The Cave” at least two or three years ago. Neil was already shortening the channel name into RMC in his videos, so to him this was a fairly easy decision to make. The main reason to do the change in the first place, is that the “Man Cave” part was originally a joke from his wife (a sign above the door to his hobby space) and not entirely fitting a channel that is now made (semi)-professionally in a space outside the house. He even has a computing museum nowadays so he wants to do all this without jokes that could be misinterpreted without context.

    Another great video from Neil. I will visit the museum one day. That is a beautiful looking machine, especially the keyboard. I was very surprised to find out it was only a 286.

    Was not expecting everything on one board like that. It probably would have been easier to just package a PC and Megadrive more or less separate with a switch between them. Sega really put some work into that.

      That’s exactly what the Amstrad version was that was released in the UK. A 386 PC with a MegaDrive on an extension card.
