Namcot 108, Namcot 109, Namcot 118, Namcot 119: 28-pin shrink PDIP (Canonically mapper 206).

No behavioral differences are known between the 4 different part numbers; several games were released on the same board with identical code and different mapper ICs.
Many boards (and thus iNES mappers) redefined parts of the pinout for various extensions, mostly to increase the amount of addressable CHR ROM.

Mappers 88 and 154 connect (n) CHR A12 -> CHR A16 (r), skipping the mapper IC altogether.
