John Sands SC-3000
Post Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2004 4:31 am
Heh heh, it's me again.

I noticed this particular model being mentioned somewhere on the web, and I have a couple of questions. Is it different at all than a regular SC-3000 model? If so, will it play regular SC-3000 games? Was it an Australia-only type deal?

I notcied that the model number is actually SC-3000H. Is this different at all from the regular model?

John Sands was the distributor of SC-3000 stuff in Australia.
All Australian models are marked this way.
Similarly, French models are marked by Yeno.

SC-3000 is the regular model, SC-3000H has an hard keyboard (much better to type with). Both models exists in all country they've been released, so there's a John Sands SC-3000 and a SC-3000H as well.

All models of SC-3000 are compatible.

As Always, Box design is very difference - The Difference only lies in cosmetics though, except John Sands made a SC-3000 Modem, which afaik is an Aussie Exclusive (Bock?)
