i think you misinterpreted me. i own a US Turbo Grafx, as well as the Turbo
CD unit. with this setup, i can play US HuCards, and US/Japanese Turbo CDs.
however, this setup does not allow me to play US/Japanese Super CDs, or
US/Japanese Arcade CDs. hence, i require a TG-->PCE HuCard convertor, to
allow me to use a Japanese Arcade Card Pro or Super System 3.0 card with my
US systems. so you see, i'm not looking to interconnect US and Japanese
systems.
and just in case you're wondering why i'm after the Japanese cards, it's due
to the price. the Jap versions tend to cost much less than their US
counterparts, at least from what I'VE seen. furthermore, i figure since i'm
going to want to play Arcade CDs eventually, i may as well go for the Jap
card.
