Rapid Fire Unit

The Rapid Fire Unit is a small device that is inserted between a two-button controller and the Sega Master System. It provides an auto-repeat capability for the control buttons which saves a lot of wear-and-tear on fingers for games like Astro-Warrior. The auto-repeat could be turned on for each button independently.
