of a modem or Network Interface Card). The Sega TeraDrive includes stereo RCA jacks and composite NTSC video output for connection to a TV, whereas the Mega PC lacks this feature, but could be connected to a PAL TV through SCART. Outputs from both the PC and Mega Drive units are available from a shared VGA connector, but since video output from the Mega Drive is still 15 kHz RGB it works fine when connected to a TV using SCART. When using the PC hardware, only a Multisync or VGA monitor can be used, as the unit outputs video at 31 kHz. Compatibility The system shipped with an Amstrad branded controller that is internally identical to Sega's, allowing the controllers to be used on either system. Peripherals Amstrad bundled several peripherals with its Mega PC, including: Dual sync 15 kHz/31 kHz Amstrad branded 14" white monitor with internal speakers Mega Drive white control pad with Amstrad branding and Amstrad white joystick Standard Amstrad keyboard and mouse using PS/2 interface Sales The machine launched in 1993, selling in Australia with a retail price in February of AU$1999 (), although small discounts were offered and had fallen to AU$1499 () by June. In the United Kingdom, the unit was selling for between £550 to £600 (), with variable pricing depending upon what came bundled. Mega Plus Amstrad advertised, but never released, a successor to the Mega PC named the Amstrad Mega Plus. It boasted slightly higher specifications, with the processor upgraded to a Cyrix Cx486SLC running at 33 MHz and a RAM upgrade of 4× 1MB SIMM modules (4MB).
