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...

It in the intel data book page 3-32 (1988 volume2 peripheral with black cover).
I have that datasheet but the scanner is down.
