Over its lifetime, the Genesis came in three different models, each of which had several motherboard revisions themselves.

Model 1

The model 1 Sega Genesis is the largest model and features a headphone jack with a volume slider. There are at least seven motherboard revisions that can be found inside of a model 1 Genesis, labeled VA1 - VA7. Early revisions, which bear the text "HIGH DEFINITION GRAPHICS" in white above the cartridge slot on the case, are known to have the best audio output of any version of the Genesis.

Model 2

You know, the small one most people are familiar with.

Model 3

That shit version of the Genesis that came out towards the end of the Genesis's lifespan. It's got a big "3" on it and from what I hear the compatibility is sketchy.
