Recently I bought a Moonsound (at the Nijmegen fair) and I did get a manual (for Moonblaster) and Moonblaster for Moonsound on CDrom (no original disks anymore).

As far as I know there was never a cable included. Some friends of mine bought a moonsound when it came out or a couple of years later and there was no cable included (just the manual and the Moonblasterdisks). Maybe someone else here on the did get a cable ?

I don't remember a cable either... Just some disks with a very annoying lable on it...

The first batches of Moonsounds (with the jack connector on the top) did come with a jack to 2x tulip cable. But as those cables are very common and cheap, getting one nowadays shouldn't be that hard, even if you don't have a spare lying around somewhere already.

Well, I guess it could be said that it is a bit of strange that sometimes customer receives something that is supposed to be included (or not to be supposed) and the paid order is missing some stuff that the selling company itself isn't knowing why it isn't there (or should it be there). Very confusing to say the least. Still, lately Sunrise has been co-operative with me responding mails on the matter and they said that they could ship again the missing games which is nice of course. I decided to be a little compassionate on them to avoid the sending of physical stuff again and opted to have the games by email.

Back then the Moonsound was shipped with 128kB SRAM, one cable (as it seems, but I forgot), a manual and Moonblaster for Moonsound FM. It was quite pricey. Almost € 200,- if I remember correctly... 380 dutch guilders I guess...

Now the Moonsound has 1MB SRAM on board and is quite a bit cheaper. Even games which we payed for quite a bit of € get shipped with it for free...

The delivery of back then and right now can't be compared anymore... I'd like some cash refund though, for all those free included games right now and
