Calling electronics gurus!
Hey guys, I have a sega saturn and need some info. I need links to a schematic, or the pinouts for ALL connections. I have found the A/V output, but I still need the controller ports, communication ports, expansion ports, and cartridge port. It's a RISC based system and I'm wanting to make an interface cable that will allow me to boot a hard drive with it. It;s going to take some programming, but I think it can be done.. Then I get to port linux..

Just the tought of trying to write an OS for this project would discourage me. Rip out the sega's guts, insert a mini-itx form factor Ciryx fanless 370 clone PC board (6.75 inches square), add in a laptop hard drive, mini pc power supply and have a unique SEGA system even if in name only. Sorry, cannot help on the pinouts, but thought I would give you something else to consider while you are looking.

It's a pretty common chipset. It's basically and arcade system that's been "downsized" and packaged. I need the pinouts because I'm wanting to add an external HDD with games on it. If I can get it to run right. I got the A/V sorted out today.
