The StudyBox 1000 is a cassette drive adapter for the Famicom that would read educational classes off of cassette tapes, similar to the cassette drive on a Commodore 64 or other computers of the time. The classes available were English (taught across 17 tapes), Science (12 tapes), and Math (also 12 tapes).

Likely only used in schools, the StudyBox and its tapes are extremely rare and hard to find.
