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....
