And IIRC pins 6 and 7 are reset _inputs_ on the 74x90 (I don't have the
pinouts to hand, what about the 74x92 or more likely 74x93?). But active
high, not active low. So it's possible the reset signal comes from elsewhere,
resets these counters (as some kind of clock divider chain) and is inverted
by that '14 to feed the 8085 reset input.

I doubt it's a uA733. I can think of no logical reason to have one of those
in this sort of circuit.
