Update: The MN8601ME1 chip appears to be Matsushita's version of a 12MHz
HD64180--at least tracing the pins for address and data on the PROM and the
clock input pin matches up with the 64180. My guess is that the MN8611A is
a largish SRAM chip--I'll see if I can find something that matches up.
File this one away in the "What is it?" file.
Cheers,
Chuck
