The Steve1989MREinfo moment was spot on, nice work sir!

In case you're wondering, the reason you got the version from California is simple but kind of messed up. Until the 2000s there wasn't any direct tech trade between South Korea and Japan. so any trade between the two required an intermediary company in another country, like the US. The embargo is also why South Korea never got the Famicom officially. Mostly due to South Korea breaking tech security agreements they had with Japan. It's a small snap shot of South Korea's passive-aggressive way of dealing with Japan, while maintaining their grudge from WWII and prior.

You may find North Korea's views on outside nations absurd today, but South Korea wasn't that much different until the end of the Cold War. Besides, with your logic, the entire EU would never exist.

Clint, I wish I knew you were looking for one of these. I bought one in the early 2000's from a traveling computer show, solely for the "rice" factor (the flashy blinkenlights, essentially). It looked so cool to my eye back then. Sometime later, when I rebuilt my PC, I threw this in a drawer and forgot about it. I do, however, know exactly where it is, and I have all the pieces, though not the box nor the documentation. I'd have been happy to send it to you so you wouldn't have had to import one from Japan. Thanks for the great video and nostalgia trip! Maybe I'll throw mine into my current desktop just for the fun factor!

8:21 I had an Aureal sound card like that. It was great for recording. The wavetable synthesis made MIDI files sound amazing.

Yeah, the MRE accessory packet threw me. I was like "...uhh, what..." but when I heard "Nice!" I busted out laughing as I understood the homage.

I actually had one of those back when I was in High School. I bought mine at Comdex in Las Vegas for 40 bucks on the last day of the show. It really didn't do much for my audio, but it did make your computer look cool. Anyone who saw it would always ask about it.

Let's get this out on a tray *nice*

Brings me back, My old rig back in the 90s was a Full Tower ATX case and I had built an VU Meter out of LEDs that took up a whole 5.25 bay and had an old Parallel text VFD 4x16. Used Winamp to display music tracks and such. One point I added a second optical drive that had a bad controller but worked playing role as a CD player for when I would play Quake. Just used the Headphone jack on the optical jack and ran it into the Line-In jack. I had some old Roland MA-12 speakers. Come to think of it I had a JBL amplified Sub Woofer hooked up at one point but that was a few years later. Was a sweet system until someone broke in and stole it back in 2001.

Top notch quality content. You rock!

Lmao that MRE reference threw me for a loop! Wow. “Got ‘em!”

What a fascinating product. I never knew about it or I definitely would have "blinged" one of my old desktop builds with one back in the day. Interesting that the manufacturer chose to not really integrate the EQ at all, it is effectively a car-audio or HiFi component in a 5.25 bay chassis. Great vid!

I been waiting for a video like this

Techmoan is so jelly right now!

I had one with VU meters and the EQ under that. Used to be a big PC modder in that golden time lol. Awesome video indeed!!!

Haha, Clint, you cracked me up with your "hommage" to Steve1989! Can't wait until Steve is doing the same with old computer stuff and games in one of his videos.

Now that would have been a wonderful addition to my Plusdeck 2c Computer tape deck. A deck that fits nicely into a 5,25 bay to play audio tapes or feed them into the computer to digitize them. Priceless looks from my friends included

Let’s get this out onto a tray. Nice!
