Here is the rare-ish modem complete with Software and crazy controller for the Super Famicom.
The Modem as far as I know only had one function and that was to allow you to do online betting Via the official JRA (Japanese Horse Racing) online service. The modem ran on the NTT lines which probably means that NTT (Nippon Telecommunications) also had something to make out of this service or at least they thought they did :-D
The front of the modem is nothing too exciting really apart from the Super Famicom logo

The back has the power in and the standard dial up connection soccet. The modem connected to the SFC via the control ports

The sticker on the bottom doesn't really tell us much that we don't allready know apart from that the modem was made in Taiwan

Inside the modem

This seems to be one of the main chips on the board. Probably the Bios

Another close up, this time of the center chip

This is the crazy looking pad that you use for betting.
