Ah yes. Vague recollections were nudging me in that direction... :-)
Anybody know who made those parts with numbers

think I have much data on those offhand.
General Instrument. Often there's a "GI" logo on their chips. Dennis Boone wrote:

(Yes, the AY-5-1013 is a hardware/switch/pin-configured UART. Can supply
pinout if needed.)
That may be why I was recalling that number. The other one of those being
what, a 6402 or similar? I'm thinking Standard Microsystems, for which I
do have a databook someplace though I haven't seen it in ages.

Yes, those AA-N-NNNN numbers are GI; they made 6 or 7 versions of that
UART, some dual-voltage PMOS and some 5V-only versions.
The 6402 (Intersil, Harris etc.) was a pin-compatible 5V CMOS version.
I've got a pretty complete set of GI datasheets, including their funky game
chips etc. if anyone needs any info.

UART, I think. I know I've run into that number somewhere before.
