	Um, unless I'm mistaken, I think that "largish square chip" your 
referring to under the powersupply is the VGC (Video Graphic Chip). The next
closest square chip nearby would be the Mega II. The Ensoniq 5503 DOC is 
located on the lower right side of the motherboard. It's socketed on the 
ROM 01 (thus removable), but is solder-down on the ROM 3 (also the DOC I/O 
connector was moved to the left side of it on the ROM version 3 cpu).
