===MIDI Keyboard===
MIDI keyboards are used in two special cartridges: ''Miracle Piano Teaching System'', released only in US, and ''Wonder MIDI'', released only in Japan and requires a Model 1 Wondermega (either RG-M1 or HWM-5000) to operate. While MIDI keyboards can be operated with ''MPTS'' as usual, ''Wonder MIDI'' also requires a special disc from the [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-MIDI CD-MIDI] standard to be inserted, as the software itself is not capable to do interactions with the soundchips of both Mega Drive and Mega-CD.

===XBAND Modem===
All XB∀ND modems plug into the cartridge slot of the console, and require their external power supply and a telephone line to connect to. Similar to the Game Genie and other adaptors, a game cartridge is to be placed on top of the XB∀ND modem for the game to function. XB∀ND is the name of a video game modem/online service offered by Catapult in the mid-1990s.
