I realize most of you are PAL guys but how much difference do you think there will be between PAL and US/JPN ones? I am hoping very little.

I think the way this went down is a massive credit to the Sega communities. If these were Nintendo manuals they would all be bidding against each other and the winner would take one look at them before having them sealed in something like those ridiculous videogame grading cases or framed as a trophy.

Does any body know if anyone got the JAP Mega CD service manual? I had a quick look around the other forums (probably skipped over it) There's a dead Mega CD looking at me right now

Ok guys my father inlaw has these. I estimate i can get them thursday night at the latest. I could have gotten them on friday but the father inlaw forgot to bring it home.
Also been a delay due to our local floods roads being fucked up etc (live in Queensland) and that we (wife and i) are in the "sell a car and buy a new car" phase. Going to miss the V35 Skyline but need something more "practical", we got a Mitsubishi Outlander.....yawn.

My Mother inlaw was nice enough to drop these off today. Good news most of it is readable, allthough some of the board scans are no good and the schematics....well we'll have to see as where the paper has folded the letter are worn away. I won't be at work tomorrow but I will start scanning these Thursday. I have said I will start with the Saturn one as these guys put heaps of faith in me. 8Bit will be next so I can ship these to Bock (SMSPower). A few pics here www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?22905-Sega-repair-manuals-on-eBay&p=553654&viewfull=1#post553654*edit* It appears the Saturn manual is for the first Revisions as the Power Board is in the top part of the case.

When done, who can I email these to please? I am trying to make them into less than 10mB files so they can be emailed easily.

Do you have an Underground Gamer account? I can send you an invite if you don't. You could also upload everything to a Dropbox public folder.
