IF you have a date code, I can check the databooks I have.
I've never seen a 48-pin version of this part. It would be odd, indeed, if it
lined up with the AMD 7990.

Incidentally, does anyone have a pinout for the

COM5025? Yes, it seems to have existed, and the pinout is somewhat
similar to the 7990 ethernet chip (!), to the extent that I have a
bridge/router with 3 48 pin sockets that can take either 7990s or 5025s
(there is one jumper to move for each socket, depending on what chip
you've fitted). If you put a 7990 in the socket, you link a header
alongside it to an little PCB with the AUI interface stuff on it. If you
have the 5025, you connect the header to a differnt board with RS232-like
buffers on it. But things like the data pins, etc, must be in the same
places on both chips.
Wow! That's strange. Nope... I have tubes and tubes of 40-pin COM5025
chips, but never even heard of a 48-pin version. The bus-side should be
easy to divine, but I have no idea about the serial side.
