Any Pippin owners in here?

I have many Pippin @home, and yout Pippi is not a KMP, by the way. It's a Pippin @world from the USA.

With the Katz Media, you have a Katz Media sticker on the front, like mine : https://www.journaldulapin.com/2021/11/21/katz-media-kmp2000/

But you have the dongle, and it's very rare

Are you sure? On my motherboard I can clearly see 820-0845-A (Pippin by Katz Media). The case belongs to a @world Pippin, but in the inside there is a KMP 2000. Also ROM is 1.3 if you look at the photos.

The visible information leans toward a @world. In any case, the motherboards are generally identical across the three versions. The 1.3 ROM isn’t necessarily tied to a Katz Media model: I have an Atmark unit that came with this ROM. One of the differences in the Katz Media version is the CD-ROM drive, which is an 8x (and not a 4x).



In any case, a Pippin with the dongle and 1.3 ROM is rare and interesting.

I own a very rare KMP 2000 version (with KINKA 1.3 ROMS) developed by Katz Media. It is labelled as @world Bandai but in the inside there is a real Katz KMP 2000 unit. It has also a SCSI port in the rear and it comes with a dongle key for developers.
They sold just an estimate 500-1000 pieces in all the world!

Here's a photogallery:

I have one of these as well, bought it from someone who worked at Katz
