Card question
Hi all. I have a card I'm trying to identify and I'm hoping one
of you can help me.
It's a long, long, LONG board:
MN4164x8 (RAM?) DHU 8832 74LS chips
_______________________________________________
/ U U U U U U U U ===CPU?== U U U U ^ (led)
/ o o o !
! o o || || || ==ROM== __________ !
!___________________________________||||||||||||_!
ROMs?
The o's are RCA jacks:
o o
LEFT AUDIO EXT VID #0 o
o o EXT VID #1
RT AUDIO VID OUT
The CPU is labeled as follows:
(TI logo) TMS9918A NL
DHU 8832
25675 PHILLIPPINES
The ROM is labeled (in felt tip pen:)
S8SBD
(C) 1984
12/26/84
The three ||'s are also apparently ROM chips; here are the numbers
on them [from left to right:]
#1:
SOUND
AY-3-8912
(GI logo) 8318CDA
TAIWAN
#2: same as #1
#3:
JAPAN3M3
HM6116P-4
#1 and #2 are 28pin, #3 is 24pin.
The $Cs0C signature byte is $CF, if that is any help..
The LED lights up when the card is activated (PR#/IN#) Interestingly
enough, it lights up when I boot Ultima V (but I don't think I have
enough RAM to hear the sound on ultima V.. I seem to recall it needing
128k (i only have 64k))
I'm not sure what the hell it has 3 video outputs for. 3 seperate
monitors going at once? Hum. There are also 4 different jumpers
on the board, along with what looks like a wire-wrap extended plug..
for an upgrade, perhaps?
Well, if you can help me ID this card [and if you know of any software
to support it] I'd appreciate it to no end.
Thanks,
James
PS; if anyone has a (cracked) copy of Ultima III, please drop me a line. I'd
like to see if it works with the card..
