there's something weird about the markings on the bottom of the chip

the array is 32x32, and there seem to be four outputs at the bottom of the array. that would make this a 256x4 ROM. pin 9 (and a bunch of others) are inputs. they go through a series resistor, a diode clamp (not visible here) and into a double set of inverters. this creates a buffered version of the input and an inverted version. looks like a perfect match to the MCM14524! unfortunately it is a mask ROM: "This device is ordered as a factory special with its unique pattern specified by the user." @tubetime I think Fujitsu (or maybe it was Toshiba?) was later accepting 8mm backup tapes. Handy for the bigger ROMs |
@tubetime I won’t kink shame
