Expansion Audio
The Famicom Network System does have expansion audio capabilities. The Famicom audio is routed through the modem module, but nowhere directly to either of the large ASICs. It is unknown if this is used for, or limited to, dial-up modem sounds.

It sets pins 52-57 low when this pin is low, and possibly lots of other things. - Pin 16 Pull-up of 20k to 5V is also required in order to avoid triggering reset. - Pin 16 seems to be related to pin 29. With pin 29 floating and pin 16 pulled high at power on, the chip runs for 5 seconds, then enters reset. - Tested 10k instead of 20k (per original PCB) on pin 16, found no difference in time or function. - Pin 69 has a high pulse of 11.9085 usec at any time that register $4xAC has not been read for 12.4892 seconds. - Each additional 12.4892 seconds generates another pulse. - It has very repeatable precision, at least 6 figures on each. - It is not synchronized to M2 or any other inputs. - Note that 12.4892 sec * 21.47727 MHz = 2^28, with an error of 0.075%. (Nominal would be 12.4986 sec.) - Note that 11.9085 usec * 21.47727 MHz = 2^8, with an error of 0.093%. (Nominal would be 11.9196 usec.) - Pins 52-56 drive the address pins of the LH5323M1. (See notes below the LH5323M1 pinout.)

Otherwise it is hi-z. 27 could either be a /CE or W/R. - Pins 13, 9, 8, 7, 41, 37 are presumably akin to PRG A12 - A17, driven by the 5C66. - Strangely, the value of these pins increments each M2 falling edge when the CPU is in range $5000-5FFF. - At reset, these pins are all 0 from the 5C66. - LH5323M1 ROM chip will see CPU A0-A11 ($00nnn), ORed with $mm000 supplied from 5C66 -> $mmnnn - Example: CPU reads from $5000 repeatedly. - LH5323M1 ROM chip sees $00000, $01000, $02000, $03000, $04000 ... $1F000, (>>rollover>>) $00000. - Unknown how but apparently possible to get into range $20000-3FFFF since the ROM has unique data there.
