    It's something to do with the Mega Disk Interceptor copier. Not sure exactly what it's for though, I don't know much about old copiers.

    I read about that many many years ago. The article said it was used as a back-up unit save RAM pretty much like the Mega CD RAM cartridge. I have no idea if that is true or not but that's what I read.

    It is a Taiwanese cartridge if only because of the traditional chinese used. I will ask a Taiwanese friend to tell me what the chinese says.
    Like anyone reads the rubbish in the signature.

    HK uses Traditional Chinese as well, though only if you consider the time period for these things. Now days, simplified is probably taking over because of the Chinese government.

    EDIT: BTW the Chinese says "Interceptor Specific Card". The English label is being literal.

    It's a combination of all the above. It decodes SRAM for the Mega Disk Interceptor, which is Taiwanese.
    those who can't make, mod
