Just an update... I was thisclose to getting in on another JR-200U software haul, this time one with a few of the game I don't have and some Walt Disney stuff (yes, it even had real Walt Disney software). Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. On the plus side, I was able to get a third JR-200U unit (another working one), this one with (apparently) a reproduction manual, as well as the high speed cassette drive with proprietary cable and manual. Good stuff! I'm just disappointed I also couldn't score the software, as that would have enabled me to create the ultimate JR-200U resource. Still lots of good stuff in my collection, though.
It arrived. After a quick peek through the reproduction manual (it's a photocopy), it turns out that the RGB port is actually dual RGB/Composite, so that's why I was able to get a nice composite signal out of it. What it outputs is dependent upon the cable. Also, the proprietary cable that came with it is not for the cassette drive - that just uses standard connections to achieve its higher speed - it's for connecting a centronics compatible printer (though the printer mentions a specific Panasonic printer, I believe it should in theory work with standard printers that are compatible with systems from that era). So that's rather interesting.
