I have posted previously about a DEC Pro 350 I am trying to get working
again. At the moment it seems to be constantly resetting the CPU.
I have traced one possible path for the cause of this back to a NEC chip for
which I cannot find a datasheet. It is a 40-pin DIP it is marked "NEC Japan
8239K6 D7201C". All I have been able to find is more modern USB host
controllers.
Almost certainly a uPD7201 multi-protocol (asynchronous and synchronous)
serial chip. I have an NEC data book with it in if all else fails but a google
search for 'uPD7201 datasheet' (no quotes) found sites with the data sheet
to download as a .pdf file.
Quite why that should reset the machine is beyond me....
