The Philips Magnavox MAT960A102 is a Classic WebTV box manufactured by Philips. It was one of the two original WebTV units released at launch, albeit a slightly newer functionally identical revision. It used a 33.6k modem, and had 2 MB of RAM, ROM, and flash memory. This revision appears to be the first to sport a CPU manufacturer change from IDT to NKK.

Notes

1. Starting around late 1998, WebTV Networks started manufacturing old Classic boxes with R4640 CPUs from NKK and ceased the use of CPUs from IDT. This specific "102" revision appears to present this change.
