Rapid Fire Unit

From Sonic Retro

Rapid Fire Unit
The Rapid Fire Unit is a small device that is inserted between a two-button controller and the Sega Master System. It provides an auto-repeat capability for the control buttons which saves a lot of wear-and-tear on fingers for games like Astro-Warrior. The auto-repeat could be turned on for each button independently.

This unit was seen offered through Sega in their early "SEGA Challenge" newsletters. Buying 3 games would get you the item. It was also available via retail ($8.50), and packaged with the Control Stick as the "Rapid Fire Control Stick" ($??.??).
