  1. I am planning a display of RISC chips for the Computer History Museum. Please can you tell me which chip is the CPU in the PS1 board shown your photo above. You note that the chip marked CXD8606BQ is a decoder. So I assume that it is either the one marked CXD8561BQ or the CXD2938Q.

    Thanks  (Quote)  (Reply)
