Mystery chip SCM44506L

That would make sense if these were OTP or fused parts.
Wouter,  can you check the pins with an ohm meter, to what we think are power and ground. Outputs usually look different than inputs.

Funny, the usual goto reference for early 6800-series chips is the 6800 Micro System Design manual:
        http://bitsavers.org/components/motorola/6800/MC6800_Microcomputer_System_Design_Data_1976.pdf
but it's not in there.

There are a couple of other 1K ROMs however (6830,68308).
Might compare pinout with those.
