I have that datasheet but the scanner is down.

Very unusual part. It was the only externally
developed floppy controller
Apple ever used that supported GCR. Were you able to find data on it?
In Japanese, a datasheet along with an app note on NEC's website
(http://www.necel.com). Easy enough to suss out in spite of the
chicken scratches. Basically a uPD765 controller with a bunch of add-
ons for the GCR stuff.
I doubt you will be able to find one w/o
unsoldering it from an AV board.
I suspect as much. Maybe there's someone out there with a junker...
Cheers,
