Overview
- The Frisco, Texas museum announced the acquisition on March 4 and shared images of the unit on its official X account.
- Identified as the Sony MSF-1, the device is described by the museum as the original development system for a Super Nintendo CD add-on.
- The museum says it is the oldest known example and the only unit known to exist.
- As a development tool, it plugs into the SNES cartridge slot, relies on external disc drives, includes a parallel port, and features a passthrough cart slot.
- Coverage notes it predates a prototype linked to Olaf Olafsson, with Ken Kutaragi owning a similar version, and the museum has not yet said when it will go on display.
