	I posted some photos of a loose unit a long time ago but this didn't have a proper thread. https://www.smspower.org/forums/6447-JohnSandsSC3000#29517 Here are photos of a boxed unit.

	Added CRC32 on post-it as they look similar. The two cartridges are known retail cartridge (with their identical looking boxes). The eight cartridges below were apparently owned by the creator at Acme Software. AutoCom appears to the successor for the SegaCom, for the Micromodem 4. As far as I know the Micromodem 4 was not released, but I may be wrong. I created a page for AutoCom as well: https://www.smspower.org/Games/AutoCom-SC IMG_9174.jpg (272.54 KB)

	Here's the open modem.
