Just plain RAM right, no mapper.
And can you confirm the thing has an S3527 and a Zilog brand Z80?
That's what the Wiki says...
@msxholder: you have a white SBC-3810? Never seen that! Picture?
The Sanyo MPC-X article says the device is from 1984 and has a V9938. That seems an unlikely combination. Any source that can confirm this?

It's actually 1985.

I need again to rectify - see Japanese Wiki : https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSX
MPC-X(三洋電機)
同社のMSX1、WAVY-11などに接続する。MSX2が発表される前の1984年秋に発売。解像度512×204、もしくは256×204ドット。最大で512色中16色を使用可能。16色なら1面、2色なら4面というように色数と解像度で持てる画面数が変化した。スーパーインポーズ機能と8階調のビデオデジタイズ機能付き。価格は89,800円[30]。GDCというLSIを採用している[31]。一時期のMSXマガジンの表紙CGはこの両機の組み合わせで作成されていた。
MPC-X (Sanyo Electric)
Connect to the company's MSX1, WAVY-11, etc. Released in the fall of 1984 before the MSX2 was announced. Resolution 512 x 204 or 256 x 204 dots. Up to 16 of 512 colors can be used. The number of screens that can be held with the number of colors and resolution has changed, such as one for 16 colors and 4 for 2 colors. With superimposing function and 8 gradation video digitizing function. The price is 89,800 yen [30]. The LSI called GDC is adopted [31]. The cover CG of MSX magazine for a while was created by combining these two machines.
So, it desn't look like it was a V9938 then.
I have two options :
* OR it's a prequel to the V9938
* OR it's a V9938 but the BIOS/BASIC is not fully ready (especially screen 8 is missing)
We'll only know for sure when this device will be opened. Note that I've written "Apparently", this word has all its importance.
If you use that word, can you explain why it is apparent that the V9938 was used?

I agree. The V9938 can not display an image of 256x204 dot and first machines with v9938 was been released almost one year later.
