Model 3 Step 2 board schematics

Post by Gjay »

Hello!

I found a schematic diagram of the Model 3 Step 2 video board at
https://github.com/MisterTea/MAMEHub/bl ... s/model3.c:
which I will include at the bottom.

If I compare it to actual photos of a Model 3 Step 2 Video board, the schematic seems way larger and extended at the bottom.

For example, there's the usual half-circle of 4x Sega 315-6060 "Mars"-chips present, which you can see on the actual board.
But at the bottom of the schematic image, two more 315-6060s are listed.

Can anyone tell me what's going on there?

See the following screenshot:

Edit: I made it clearer in the picture what I mean. ;)

I ask this because on the page segaretro.com , it lists the Model 3 board having 6 of those 315-6060 "Mars"-Rasterizer-processors without giving any source or merely, the sources they give do not confirm this.
Wanted to check if it is true or not, but all I could find was this schematical image of the board, which does not seem right.

For comparison, this is the annotated video board that model3man posted in the old forums.

Dark blue is Mars (315-6060 + assigned RAM):

Whoever came up with that schematic accidentally duplicated many of the lines. Here's what it is supposed to look like:

Yes... I had that impression as well, maybe an error when pasting. Thank you for clearing this up. :)
