This info comes from a Polygon interview with Dan Diebold, the man who found the SNES Playstation prototype...

- Terry Diebold, Dan's father, worked as a maintenance man at a company called Advanta Corporation from 2000 to 2009
- Olaf Olafsson was president of Advanta
- Olafsson is also the former CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment
- in 2009, Advanta filed for bankruptcy
- the company ordered Diebold to clean out office rooms and throw stuff away
- in one room was a box with the SNES Playstation prototype

The system had a game cart and CD with it, but it's missing a power cord. Terry is planning on getting a cord and firing up the prototype to see if it works.
