I have been scrounging for parts for my computer,
and I believe I have hit
the jackpot. A friend of mine set me up with some older Seiko control system
boards, various revisions, from the late 80s. On them are many ICs,
including RAMs, Z80 CPUs, and PIOs, as well as some AMD Arithmetic
processors, a Z80 SIO/2, and other various components. I want to try to make
my computer from these components. Can anyone point me in a good direction
for the datasheets, preferably online, for these mostly obsolete ICs? Some
of them I don't even know what they are, and some I cannot find online,
presumably because they are obsolete. Here's a partial list of them:
NEC D780C
AFAIK it's an exact equivaletn of a Z80 CPU. I've never found a circuit
that works with one and not the other.
Nec states it is pin and software compatible in their 'Microcomputers
1983/1984' data book.
Not in my databooks.
NEC D4364C-15L
I guess that's a 64K*1 DRAM, similar to a 4164
NEC D8251AC
Equivalent to the Intel 8251, National Semiconductor INS8251, etc. It's a
USART
NEC D449C
No idea
. If you decide not
to use this part or has some spare, I am very interested. I still have a
DAI computer with a socket waiting for such a chip
(
).
