JPN Sega 16-bit collector here; the Teradrive was an interesting piece of kit, but I've always been floored by just how many variants of the core system there were: from the beautiful Wondermega RG-M1 to the Laseractive, to a Megadrive and MegaCD shoved into a boombox, etc. There's a reason that generation from Sega spawned multiple books about its history. And then there was this, which is perhaps even more impossible to get ahold of: http://segaretro.org/Sega_Mega_Anser http://segaretro.org/Sega_Mega_Anser At least the Teradrive pops up on Japanese auction sites, some even in the original packaging; I've never actually seen a full Mega Anser out there, though a couple of the Ten Pad controllers show up every year or two. In short, Sega attempted to provide the utility of the platform as a limited use-case computer, and then attempted to bring the functionality of the platform _to_ a computer.
