http://www.pc-6001.net/p6/hard/6022repair.html well i found a page covering someone repairing one that helpfully has a photo that confirms that this was indeed where the chip came from

i've gone ahead and thrown together a skeleton MAME implementation of it now (it doesn't _actually_ print, but it "works")

after dumping and disassembling it, the other test chip (uPD7801G-138) seems to match the documented behavior/command set of the NEC PC-6022 color plotter, but naturally no sign of a schematic or service manual anywhere - does anybody happen to own one of these and wouldn't mind looking inside?

as a followup to my NEC uPD7811 series ROM reader i built last year, i decided to try a counterpart for the even older uPD7801

there's no mode pins for disabling/enabling internal memory this time, but i tried to design a simple clock glitching attack to force booting into external ROM, and it works! (albeit somewhat tempermentally)

first random chip from ebay turns out to be from the Casio FP-1000 computer, which was already dumped via other methods, but i have another one to try later

since i've been on a C64 kick this week, i dug out this mystery printer adapter i've had in the closet for several years, identified it, and emulated it... mostly
completely pointless activity of the week: hacking a Mode 7 object viewer into the janky SNES port of wing commander
update: i was looking at STIL.txt again and, by chance, someone recently IDed it as the stock BGM "Industrial Jingle 2" by Marc Monsen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DekevCCICaY

who called it "gated reverb" and not "snare freshener"
