Saturn consoles in North America

From Sega Retro

All North American models of the Sega Saturn are black in color. There were at least three different subversions released; the differences varied but were generally minor except cosmetic details and the locations of jumpers on the motherboard.

Models:

  • MK-80000: Manufactured from approximately April 1995 to March 1996 and it's identical to the Japanese grey model except in color.
  • MK-80000 (Sega Sports): Manufactured starting October 1995. It has the Sega Sports logo in color on top in blue, red, and white.
  • MK-80000A: Manufactured from March 1996 to July 1996. It featured a notched power cord, no drive access light, round power and reset buttons, and a 1.00a BIOS. Jumper locations are once again different.
  • MK-80001: Manufactured starting July 1996. It's similar in appearance to the MK-8000A model, with difference being some of the jumper locations.
