 Made by [[Sharp]]. Single unit incorporating Famicom and the disk drive. Have mono composite out.
-Two main versions. Original has that nice curved bump on top, and no power light. Disk drives in these have no write restrictions, so are good if you want to write full games to disks. Revision has turbo-fire on the controllers.

+The Famicom  has some great that I've been occasionally collecting. Some real nice microswitched joysticks, plenty of pads that are less uncomfortable than the defaults, and lots of weird bespoke stuff.

 ==== Storage ====
-Regular-sized Famicom carts are about the same size as an [[audio cassette]], so racks and cases made to hold those are great for storage. Note that Famicom carts come in a variety of heights, so drawers and cases won't hold everything unless you lie stuff down, but racks should have no problems.

-People 3-D print a variety of little racks (sometimes called display stands) on Etsy, and I assume other places like that.
