Hardware Models/MAT960A103
The Philips Magnavox MAT960A103 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 change the kind of internal switch mode power supply used by the box. There are less components on-board, and this power supply is missing an extra smaller connector present on the previous revisions. The AC inlet is also black instead of the usual gray color that would have matched the box's exterior gray color.

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. The previous "102" revision appears to present this change.
