Additional features in the PS1 bottom board include a Power Supply for the top (Sound) board, Auto-Battery-Off (after mid 1995), and a Coil Coupler Driver, with the places for installation of a second Coil Coupler driver circuit.

Places for installing the Auto-Battery-Off on the mid 1994-mid 1995 bottom boards were included.
