128 KB = 1 Mbit
VMU has a fixed size of 128 kilobytes (1 Megabit)
If the VMU has 4 Megabits, it must have a switch memory banks button

All very true.megavolt85 wrote:128 KB = 1 Mbit

However, I hate how misleading these companies were and are. They throw around terms like "Meg" and "MB" trying to use ambiguity to trick people into buying products all of the time. After all, the average person uses "megabyte" more than "megabit" and so will think "Meg" meant megabyte by the company. "MB" with a capital B is supposed to stand for "MegaByte" while "Mb" with a lowercase b is supposed to stand for "Megabit," yet companies such as Joytech will toss MB on something like an Advanced Jolt Pack anyway. If they get called out about it, then they offer flimsy excuses like, "Well, what we meant was ..., so it was your fault, average consumer." It is just not ethical. If that's "really what you meant," then spell it out with the full wording instead of swindling customers with your company's intentionally ambiguous labeling!

Re: Dreamcast Accessories That are a Combination of Memory Card and Rumble Pack
Would that be even possible? Can the Dreamcast or the games handle both data access and rumble on a single port at the same time?mistamontiel wrote:Don't like the toggle switch, are there any that it's the combo 24/7 all time..?

Each expansion slot allows three devices to be connectedTarnish wrote:Would that be even possible?
For example, the original VMU contains three devices: memory card, lcd display and real-time clock
