Well I could see that it's fairly modular, as far as the one plug goes. As far as anything else, I couldn't get access due to the aforementioned blocked screw. There's a RF modulator "thing" that is screwed to the case by two screws on either side. Above that there's a metal box that houses the mobo. The designers of my revision decided it would be a brilliant idea to solder the motherboard into it's metal box, and then solder ground hunks-of-thin-metal between metal box A and metal box B. Thus I can't move the motherboard box out of the way to unscrew the second screw on the RF box, and can't remove the motherboard from it's metal box because it's soldered shut (I tried to pry it open, no go with tools at hand).
If I end up getting a cart for this and liking it, I'll buy another system if this one conks out. If it survived this kind of damage, though, it might just last forever.
Edit: If a cart can have a copro Z80 in it, it would be conceivable to make a homebrew CP/M cart or otherwise.
Edit 2: Just looked at the pictures (didn't before for some reason) and realized that your model has none of the huge soldered-together metal boxes that are making mine a royal pain - lucky bum. Likely they're there for shielding and aren't that important, and someone who owned yours removed them, or they were removed in a later revision (or added in a later revision, depending).
