A future computer mod. Converting a JVC Videosphere into PCsphere.

A bit of my knowledge I would like to share about these devices. Firstly if anyone is looking to buy one in Australia they can be bought a lot cheaper from the US.
Note you will be paying more for actual postage rather then the device, but it will still work out to at least half the cost. You will however need to buy a 110/240V converter (approximately $15-20) and you will have to retune the sound for Australia (see below).
