interested in selling it? I contacted NEC and they didn't know anything
about it. Apparently very few people still have the manual and bitsavers
doesn't have it either. I did some library searches but no luck although it
is cited as a reference in a couple of college papers like masters thesis,
etc.
What I really need to know is if I can implement a simple circuit using few
enough 74LS TTL ICs to fit on a Eurocard ECB board. That means it can't be
more than about 30 maximum. Using high capacity SRAMs should help but I
think it requires some funky latching mechanisms to share the video address
and data lines.
I looked at the NEC APC video board and it is just huge. I hope that is not
an indication of the complexity needed!
Thanks and have a nice day!

Probably 30 would do, I have in front of me a S100 card with a 7220. 128KB of
64 Kb DRAM and 31 TTL ICs...
