Usage: Sega's own service manual, held by an enthusiast archive that is the custodian and not the author — the same footing on which this project cites the Internet Archive. It documents model MK-80200-50, the PAL console, so its processor frequency is the PAL one and differs from the rate the Japanese machine runs at; every figure read from it names the model. The scan carries an optical-character layer whose quality varies, and transcriptions note where it does. Its power rating disagrees with the figure Sega's own hardware encyclopedia gives, which is recorded as a conflict rather than resolved by preferring one document.
