Famicom Network System

System Overview

The Famicom Network System is a complicated device with its own memory mapping system and internal CPU. The RF5C66 chip provides the main mapper functionality, delegating its own registers at $40A0, RF5A18 Famicom registers at $40D0, an internal Kanji ROM at $5000, an internal 8kByte W-RAM at $6000. It also controls the bank of a built-in 16kByte CHR-RAM.

The RF5A18 contains CPU2, which is a 65C02 processor with its own independent CPU clock. It has a built-in 4kByte ROM. This chip is responsible for controlling the modem communications. It communicates with the Famicom CPU through four bidirectional registers at $40Dx.

The Famicom Network System plugs into the Famicom through its cartridge connector and provides the user a ZIF style slot to insert a "card". The card is similar to a normal cartridge but does not have access to any PPU signals. Commercial cards are observed to have their own MMC1 memory mapper, which does not interfere with any of the registers of the Famicom Network System. The CPU data bus is routed through the RF5C66 chip before making it to the card, possibly acting just as a bidirectional buffer / signal conditioner. It is unknown what other reason the data bus would be passed through the RF5C66 like that. Older revisions of Famicom Network System buffered the Famicom address bus with 74HC541 chips, so it is plausible that this function is literally just a bidirectional buffer integrated into the RF5C66.

LH5323M1 Kanji Graphic ROM

The LH5323M1 is a 256kByte graphics ROM containing primarily Kanji data that is mapped at $5000-5FFF. Each index in this range is a 32-byte space containing 16x16 1bpp graphics, usually for a single character, and each read automatically advances to the next byte in the sequence. There are 2 128kByte banks, and the low bank is default at power-on. Writing 1 to $40B0.0 selects the high bank. Reading from $40B0 resets to the beginning of the 32-byte sequence. Writing $40B0 does not reset the sequence however. No values written to $40B0 have been observed to arbitrarily change or reset the position in the sequence.

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. Dial tones have been observed through the television speakers. It is unlikely but unknown if there are other possible sources of sound.

Disk Drive Support

According to a block diagram with potentially dubious origins, the RF5C66 chip contains a disk drive controller. Similar design in several ways to the Famicom Disk System, it is suspected that a disk drive can be connected to the expansion port and controlled by the RF5C66. Since this feature was never used, it is unknown how to use or activate it, or even if that feature is fully implemented. The original FDS has a large DRAM that is not present as a discrete chip in the Famicom Network System. It is unknown if such a DRAM could be already integrated into the RF5C66, or could be attached externally and simply not populated, or if a special card was to be constructed containing this RAM. All original FDS registers are notably absent and all discovered registers start immediately after where the FDS registers would normally be. There is no obvious path to produce FDS expansion audio. This remains a mystery presently.

One possibility if the RF5C66 follows a similar pinout to the FDS RP2C33:

        79 / -> Exp P3-2  (reg unknown) Serial Out (observed 95.95kHz)
       78 / <- Exp P3-3  (reg unknown) Serial In
      77 / -> Exp P3-4  (!$40A4.2)    Read / Write
     76 / -> Exp P3-5  (!$40A4.1)    Reset Transfer Timing
    75 / -> Exp P3-6  ($40A3.0)     Turn on Motor
   74 / <- Exp P3-7  ($40A5.2)     Write Protect
  73 / <- Exp P3-8  ($40A5.1)     Disk Not Ready
 72 / <- Exp P3-9  ($40A5.0)     Disk Missing
71 / <- Exp P3-11 ($40A5.7)     Battery Health

Known Registers

Note: All registers available to the Famicom ignore address bits 8-11 because those bits are not physically connected to the RF5C66. Therefore, register $4xA0 has mirrors that exist at $40A0, $41A0 ... $4FA0. For simplicity, this page shows all registers as the $40xx mirror.

Address	Read Has Effect	Read Has Data	Write	Owner	Function
$40A1	Unknown	Yes	Unknown	RF5C66	Unknown Function. Write 76543210 ++++++++-- (unknown) Read 76543210 ++++++++-- Bits exist but function is unknown Reference Data  Bench test observed value $FF with pull-downs. Test code writing values $01,02,04,08,10,20,40,80 always read back $FF after each write.

Write 76543210 |||||||+-- EXP 6 = $40A3.0 (POR value = 0) +++++++--- (unknown) Read 76543210 ++++++++-- (unlikely to exist) Various values written to this register affect the behavior of pulses on pin 79. Reference Data  Bench test found open bus when reading this register. JRA-PAT writes $2F to this register and appears to keep a RAM copy at $15. Super Mario Club writes $2F to this register and appears to keep a RAM copy at $15.
$40A4	Unknown	No	Yes	RF5C66	Expansion Port Control Write 76543210 |||||||+-- (unknown) ||||||+--- EXP 5 = !($40A4.1) (POR value = 0) |||||+---- EXP 4 = !($40A4.2) (POR value = 0) +++++----- (unknown) Read 76543210 ++++++++-- (unlikely to exist) Note: Reading test should be repeated with pull-ups and pull-downs on expansion pins. This register has not been observed read or written to by any commercial software. Reference Data  Bench test found open bus when reading this register.
$40A5	Unknown	Yes	Unknown	RF5C66	Expansion Port Input Data Write 76543210 ++++++++-- (unknown) Read 76543210 |||||||+-- Input value of EXP 9 ||||||+--- Input value of EXP 8 |||||+---- Input value of EXP 7 |++++----- (unlikely to exist) +--------- Input value of EXP 11 Reference Data  Bench test observed value $00 with pull-downs, $78 with pull-ups.
$40A6	Unknown	Yes	Yes	RF5C66	M2 Cycle Counter LSB, similar to FDS register $4020 Write 76543210 ++++++++-- Cycle counter reload value (LSB) Read 76543210 ++++++++-- Cycle counter present value (LSB) Writing to this register writes to the cycle counter reload value. Reading this register gives the present value of the counter. Writing any value to $40A8 resets the counter to the reload value. This value counts down. When the value reaches $0000, the next count rolls over to $FFFF or auto-reloads depending on $40A8.0.
$40A7	Unknown	Yes	Yes	RF5C66	M2 Cycle Counter MSB, similar to FDS register $4021 Write 76543210 ++++++++-- Cycle counter reload value (MSB) Read 76543210 ++++++++-- Cycle counter present value (MSB) Refer to description in $40A6, this register being the MSB portion of the counter.

Observed writing $02 makes /IRQ go low, $00 makes /IRQ go high. Reading $40A2 with /IRQ low acknowledges it back high. Acknowledging with $40A2 first before writing $02 here prevents IRQ immediately going low. Observed rollover of cycle counter to $FFFF with repeat flag = 0 and auto-reload when flag = 1. Reference Data  Bench test found open bus when reading this register. JRA-PAT: Writes $00 to this register. Writes $00 again later, potentially connected to RAM $4F. Later, right after having written $25 to $40A7 and $20 to $40A6, writes $02 to this register.

Later, right after having written $24 to $40A7 and $F8 to $40A6, writes $02 to this register.
$40A9	Yes	Yes	Unknown	RF5C66	Unknown Function. Write 76543210 ++++++++-- (unknown) Read 76543210 ++++++++-- Bits exist but function is unknown Bench test observed value $00 with pull-ups. When driving RF5C66 pin 45 high, this 8-bit value changes. Pin 45 high causes the value to change continuously, as if counting cycles. The value does not appear to match $40A7 or $40A6, though further testing is required to say that for sure. Reading this register causes its contents to be loaded into register $40AA.
$40AA	No	Yes	Unknown	RF5C66	Unknown Function. Write 76543210 ++++++++-- (unknown) Read 76543210 ++++++++-- Bits exist but function is unknown This register maintains the most recent value that was read from $40A9. Reference Data  Bench test observed value $00 with pull-ups.
$40AB	Yes	No	Yes	RF5C66	Unknown Function. Write 76543210 ++++++++-- (unknown) Read 76543210 ++++++++-- (unlikely to exist) Reading this register resets the value of $40A9 back to $00. Reference Data  Bench test found open bus when reading this register. JRA-PAT writes $00 to this register. Super Mario Club writes $00 to this register.
$40AC	Yes	No	Unknown	RF5C66	Unknown Function. Write 76543210 ++++++++-- (unknown) Read 76543210 ++++++++-- (unlikely to exist) Reading this register prevents timed toggle on RF5C66-69 (see notes in pinout). Reference Data  Bench test: Observed $00 with pull-downs and $FF with pull-ups (totally open bus). JRA-PAT reads this register with a BIT op-code and throws away the result. Super Mario Club reads this register with a BIT op-code.

JRA-PAT writes $00 to this register. Super Mario Club writes $80 to this register.
$40AE	Unknown	No	Yes	RF5C66	Unknown Function. Write 76543210 |||||||+-- Built-in RAM /CE control (POR value = 1) ||||||| 1 = Built-in RAM /CE enabled to go low for reads and writes in the range $6000-7FFF. ||||||| Pin 5C66.28 = 1 at all address ranges.

(This pin normally n/c.) +++++++--- (unknown) Read 76543210 ++++++++-- (unlikely to exist) Refer also to $40C0.0 for built-in RAM enabling. Reference Data  Bench test found open bus when reading this register. JRA-PAT: Writes $00 to this register. Later writes $01 to this register. Super Mario Club: Writes $00 to this register. Later writes $01 to this register.

D0 is written with 0 or 1 in Kanji graphics-loading code depending on the Kanji character index, changing the Kanji bank. For an unknown reason, RF5C66 registers can't be written on test setups. They only work in a real Famicom so far. Reference Data  Bench test found open bus when reading this register. Is read with BIT and results discarded before reading Kanji data out of $5000-5FFF. Super Mario Club: Stores X to this register after incrementing X (observed value $20). Reads this register and throws away the value read.

Refer also to $40AE.0 for built-in RAM enabling. All examined software waits for D7 = 1 at initialization. D7 is normally 1, but becomes and stays 0 if the cartridge is removed or is not present on power-on. Reference Data  Bench test observed value $00 with pull-downs, $70 with pull-ups. JRA-PAT: Writes to this register from what appears to be a RAM copy at $18 ORed with #$01. Also writes from $18 ANDed with #$FE.

$40D0	Unknown	Yes	Yes	RF5A18	Famicom CPU <-> CPU2 Interface, Data Byte 0 Write 76543210 ++++++++-- 8-bit value written here can be read by CPU2 from register $4123. Read 76543210 ++++++++-- 8-bit value read here was written by CPU2 to register $4123. Reference Data  Super Mario Club: Does multiple writes of various values to this register when opening a connection. Reads this register when closing a modem connection, which reports value $80 and stores it at $701. Writing a value to this register does not cause the read value to change. This shows that Famicom -> CPU2 and CPU2 -> Famicom directions each use separate physical registers.
$40D1	Unknown	Yes	Yes	RF5A18	Famicom CPU <-> CPU2 Interface, Data Byte 1 Write 76543210 ++++++++-- 8-bit value written here can be read by CPU2 from register $4124.

Reference Data  Super Mario Club: Does multiple writes of various values to this register when opening a connection. Reads this register when closing a modem connection, which reports value $01 and stores it at $702. Writing a value to this register does not cause the read value to change. This shows that Famicom -> CPU2 and CPU2 -> Famicom directions each use separate physical registers.

Reference Data  Super Mario Club: Does multiple writes of various values to this register when opening a connection. Reads this register when closing a modem connection, which reports value $00 and stores it at $703. Writing a value to this register does not cause the read value to change. This shows that Famicom -> CPU2 and CPU2 -> Famicom directions each use separate physical registers.

Does a BIT operation on this register and makes decisions based on D7 and D6. Probably the same: Reads this register once per frame, which reports value $E0. Also writes value $BF to this register, not in connection with $19. Does multiple writes of various values to this register when opening and closing a connection. Bits 4,3,2,1,0 follow pull-ups and downs on the data bus. Writing a value to this register does not cause the read value to change.

Super Mario Club writes $FF to this register and appears to keep a RAM copy at $1A. Bits 7,6,5,4,3 read back as always 0 when writing inverting values to these bits. Bits 2,1,0 read back with the same value that was written.
$40D5	Unknown	Yes	Unknown	RF5A18	Clocks Write 76543210 ++++++++-- (unknown) Read 76543210 ||++++++-- Bits exist but function is unknown ++-------- (unlikely to exist) The purpose is unknown but it could potentially serve to generate random numbers. The Famicom CPU and CPU2 have separate clocks and are asynchronous, making the value read especially random. Bit 5 is a 0.05% duty square wave, measured 1.200kHz (19.6608MHz CPU2 crystal / 16384) Negative pulse width measures 406 nsec, the same as period of bit 2. Bit 4 is a 50% duty square wave, depending on $4114.1 and $4114.0: (0,0) measured 19.20kHz (19.6608MHz CPU2 crystal / 1024) (0,1) measured 38.40kHz (19.6608MHz CPU2 crystal / 512) (1,0) measured 76.80kHz (19.6608MHz CPU2 crystal / 256) (1,1) measured 153.6kHz (19.6608MHz CPU2 crystal / 128) Bit 3 is a 50% duty square wave, measured 307.3kHz (19.6608MHz CPU2 crystal / 64) Bit 2 is a 50% duty square wave, measured 2.451MHz (19.6608MHz CPU2 crystal / 8) Bit 1 is a 50% duty square wave, measured 4.902MHz (19.6608MHz CPU2 crystal / 4) This bit toggles at the same rate as RF5A18 pin 42, though there is a 129.9 degree phase difference. Bit 0 is a 50% duty square wave, measured 9.804MHz (19.6608MHz CPU2 crystal / 2) The phasing of these signals do not line up nicely but they do stay in perfect sync with CPU2 M2. Reference Data  $40Dx registers can be monitored in real-time by statically giving the RF5A18 the bus signals for a read from this register. M2 = 1, Card R/W (i.e. buffered CPU R/W) = 1, Famicom /CE = 0, CPU A0,A1,A2 = x,x,x Unimplemented bits will latch the Famicom data bus's last value when toggling M2. Bits 7,6 follow pull-ups and downs on the data bus.
$40D6	Unknown	Yes	Unknown	RF5A18	UART Status Write 76543210 ++++++++-- (unknown) Read 76543210 |||||||+-- Bit exists but function is unknown ||||||+--- $40D6.1 = !($4112.0) read by CPU2. (0 = $4110 buffer has a byte ready to be read.) |||||+---- $40D6.2 = !($4112.1) read by CPU2. (0 = $4110 buffer can be written.) ||||+----- $40D6.3 = !($4113.1 OR $4113.2) written by CPU2. |||+------ $40D6.4 = !($4113.7) written by CPU2. (1 = Transmit repeat.) ||+------- $40D6.5 = !($4113.6) written by CPU2. ++-------- (unlikely to exist) $40D6.2 previously observed to equal !($4113.7 AND $4112.1) written by CPU2. Writing these bits likely has direct effect on the read value of $4112.1. Reference Data  Bits 7,6 follow pull-ups and downs on the data bus. Bits 1 and 0 only ever observed with value 1 regardless of various techniques writing to lots of CPU2 registers. Writing a value to this register does not seem to cause its own read value to change.

RF5A18 Internal 65C02 CPU

The RF5A18 contains its own CPU, termed "CPU2" on this page. It is a 65C02 supporting bitwise set/clear/branch instructions. Note that CPU2 has its own parallel execution with its own address and data busses that are not available to the Famicom's CPU. CPU2 also has its own clock source, so it does not execute synchronously with the Famicom CPU. CPU2 clock speed is 2.4576 MHz (19.6608 MHz crystal / 8). This section describes CPU2's own memory mapping and its own internal registers.

CPU2 /Reset is controlled 2 different ways depending on the revision of Famicom Network System. To support all revisions when enabling CPU2, both of these bits should be written:

• $40B1.3 = 0 (new revisions Famicom Network System, and old revisions with J1 closed)
• $40C0.2 = 1 (old revisions Famicom Network System with J2 closed)

Reference Data  Read Bit Existence: Values $41, $40, and $BF from previous fetch observed unaffected. When tone dialing, the digit length is $0078 (~100ms) and the inter-digit gap is $0046 (~60ms). Slow pulse dialing uses on-hook pulses of $004f (~67ms) and off-hook gaps of $0027 (~33ms) and the inter-digit gap is $031e (~666ms). Fast pulse dialing uses on-hook pulses of $0027 (~33ms) and off-hook gaps of $0013 (~17ms) and the inter-digit gap is $027e (~533ms). The times are approximate and assume a 1200Hz clock source, but the actual clock source is unknown. Theory: 19.6608MHz RF5A18 crystal / 2^14 = 1200Hz.

Reading a byte from this register automatically clears $4112.0 read value, to be triggered high again next byte received on UART Rx. This UART is connected to the MSM6827L TXD and RXD pins. The byte is ready to read here when the IRQ flag $4112.0 is high. The byte is ready to be written here when flag $4112.1 is high. Writes to $4110 are specifically prevented by built-in ROM in modes 0 and 5. Bench testing confirmed reads and writes of this register correspond to data read by UART Rx and written to UART Tx.

Communication Between Famicom and CPU2

Registers $40D0, $40D1, $40D2, and $40D3 are used for communication between Famicom and CPU2. One would tend to expect the Famicom to receive the same value from any of these four registers if read back right after writing. However, each register is actually a separate register in each direction. The Famicom only controls the value read by CPU2, and CPU2 only controls the value read by the Famicom. It may be that CPU2 echoes the value back in some cases, but don't be fooled.

Data packets are sent in both directions between the Famicom and CPU2 using these registers. The data flow is controlled by status and acknowledge flags in $40D3, and data is sent 3 bytes at a time using registers $40D0, $40D1, and $40D2. When CPU2 receives each 3-byte chunk, it buffers it in its RAM starting at address $0401 until the full message has been received. The maximum message length is at most 255 bytes, possibly less.

Each message starts with a command byte, followed by a byte count. The byte after the byte count is not used and not counted towards the byte count in most commands. There are a total of 25 command bytes, which are stored in a lookup table at CPU2 ROM address $FB52. The index of this lookup table corresponds to the index of a function pointer table at address $FBB2, and a command mode support bitfield table at address $FB6B. This is how CPU2 efficiently directs to a unique message handler function for each command byte. The mode bitfield checks against the mode byte at $0051. It is probably used for enforcing the correct sequence of commands, as the command handlers themselves seem to be a major contributor changing the mode. It seems there are 6 possible modes: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, though command $03 is set to support modes 6 and 7 as well. The mode may actually represent a global state machine, such as 0 = disconnected, 1 = dialing, etc.

CPU2 Commands

Commands Read by the Famicom from CPU2

Command Byte	Description
$80	This command is received by the Famicom in response to writing to command $00. (See next section for details.)
$81	Unknown function. [$81] [count=$01] [$00] [connection status] It is unknown what events trigger this command to be sent to the Famicom. [connection status] comes from RAM $0052, see section below for enumerated values. This response can only happen in mode 3 via NMI. Theory: This command is a response to writing to command $01.
$82	Unknown function. [$82] [count=$01] [$00] [connection status] It is unknown what events trigger this command to be sent to the Famicom. [connection status] comes from RAM $0052, see section below for enumerated values. Response: [parameter] $00 means success, all other values indicate an error. When successful, the mode changes to $02. When unsuccessful, the mode changes to $00. [parameter] comes from RAM $0052 This response can only happen in mode 4 via NMI. Theory: This command is a response to writing to command $02.
$83	This command is received by the Famicom in response to writing to command $03. (See next section for details.)
$90	This command is received by the Famicom in response to writing to command $10. (See next section for details.)
$91	This command is received by the Famicom in response to writing to command $11. (See next section for details.)
$92	This command is received by the Famicom in response to writing to command $12. (See next section for details.)
$C0	UART Rx Packet There are 2 different parts of the CPU2 code that can send this message: [$C0] [count=N] [parameter] [...N bytes...] This command can only be sent to the Famicom in mode 2. [parameter] comes from RAM $0024. [...N bytes...] are read from register $4110, most recent reads first, 1 byte read from $4110 per IRQ. Count N does not include the parameter byte. This is serial data received from the Oki MSM6827L integrated modem chip. This response can only happen in mode 2 via IRQ. [$C0] [count=$01] [$00] [parameter] It is unknown what events trigger this command to be sent to the Famicom. The modem abruptly disconnects when sending this command. [parameter] can be #$00 or #$01. This response can only happen in mode 2 via IRQ.
$C1	Tone Rx Data Packet. When the packet only contains 1 nybble: [$C1] [count=$01] [$80] [tone Rx nybble] [tone Rx nybble] is register ($4128 read value >> 3) & 0x0F. When there is more than 1 nybble in the packet: [$C1] [count=N] [parameter] [tone Rx bytes] [parameter] is either $00 or $01 based on the value of RAM $007A. Theory: [parameter] may indicate an even or odd number of nybbles in the packet. Each Tone Rx byte is packed with 2 nybbles. Count N does not include the parameter byte.
$E1	This command indicates that CPU2 had a failure receiving a command from the Famicom. Command from Famicom that failed due to invalid command byte, or a command not supported in the present mode: Message from Famicom: [invalid command] [count] [byte 0] [byte 1] ... Response back to Famicom: [$E1] [count=$03] [?] [$00] [invalid command] [byte 1] [?] byte appears to be open to sending an artifact from the previous response. Observed JRA-PAT rev 05 read this response after attempting to write to command $01 after a failed connection. E1 03 (00) 00 01 01 Command from Famicom that failed due to invalid byte count: Message from Famicom: [command] [invalid count] [byte 0] [byte 1] ... Response back to Famicom: [$E1] [count=$03] [$00] [$01] [command] [byte 1]
$F0	This command is received by the Famicom in response to writing to command $7C. (See next section for details.)

CPU2 Commands with CRC key bytes

CPU2 command $12 calculates the CRC-16 of its message using [polynomial 1] and [polynomial 2] as the CRC polynomial, with [initial] placed in both bytes of the initial value, and performs the calculation LSB-first or "reflected". This command requires the polynomial to be specified in reciprocal form. For example, to calculate the standard CRC-16 with polynomial $8005, [polynomial 1] would be set to $40, [polynomial 2] would be set to $03, and [initial] would be set to $00.

CPU2 Commands $7C, $7D, $7E, and $7F use CRC key bytes [CRC 1] and [CRC 2] to validate the message. These commands calculate a CRC-16 across the message backwards, starting from the last byte and ending at [CRC 1]. The result must be 0 or the command is ignored. The CRC-16 polynomial is $8385 and the initial value is $35AC. The calculation is done LSB-first, or "reflected".

Connection Status Byte

Response commands $80, $81, and $82 send an enumerated value indicating the result when attempting to make a telephone connection. These enumerations are used clearly in the CPU2 ROM: 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 0B, 0C, 0D, 0E. CPU2 ROM keeps track of this value at RAM location $0052. $00 indicates a successful connection, and all other values indicate a failure. Super Mario Club shows these failures with error code 40xx, xx directly reflecting this byte. Super Mario Club's manual gives troubleshooting information for most of these values. That information was used to create the table below.

Notes:
- +5Vcc pins 18, 59, 81, 100 are all connected together internally.
- GND pins 23, 39, 70, 90 are all connected together internally.
- 43, 44, 45, 46 are GND on the PCB, but have internal protection diodes from GND, suggesting they are logic pins.
  - Pins 45-46, when pulled high, causes oscillation on pin 56.
- 24, 28, 36, 37, 41, 63 are n/c on the PCB, but function as noted.
- Pins 41 and 42 ranges shown are duplicated at $Cxxx (i.e. ignores /ROMSEL).
  - It is unknown how the 5A18 prevents bus conflict at $Cxxx range when it has no known access to /ROMSEL.
- Pin 29 (CIC-11) observed only high (with or without card inserted).
  - Seems to be a /reset because it sets pins 52-57 low when this pin is low, and possibly lots of other things.
- Pin 31 (CIC-10) observed only high (with or without card inserted).
- Pin 32 (CIC-15) observed high with card inserted and low with no card inserted or when hot-removed.
  - Does not go high when hot-inserted or Famicom reset in low state, only high when card is present at power-on.
- 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 Kanji ROM.  (See notes below the LH5323M1 pinout.)
- Pin 15 (Card R/W) is a non-inverted buffer of CPU R/W.  This signal connects through the lid switch.
- Pin 26 puts out a 3.58 MHz square wave, ~50% duty.  This corresponds to 21.47727 MHz / 6.
- Pin 79 (Exp 2) puts out a 95.95 kHz square wave, 93.7% duty.  Clock source unknown.
  - Note that this seems similar to FDS serial bitrate.
  - Standalone chip can get into a 341.2 kHz mode when touching pin 80, though pulling 80 high or low doesn't correlate.
  - Either frequency, the negative pulse width is 650 nsec.
- Pins 71-79 appear strikingly similar to an FDS interface.
- CIRAM A10 follows PPU A10 by default.

Notes:
- This chip contains its very own 65C02 CPU, with built-in ROM.
- +5Vcc pins 9, 31, 64, 91 are all connected together internally.
- GND pins 18, 43, 46, 78, 100 are all connected together internally.
- 24, 26 are GND on the PCB, but function as noted.
- 25 is GND on the PCB, but has internal protection diode from GND, suggesting it is a logic pin.
- 47, 48 are +5Vcc on the PCB, but function as noted.
- 15, 16, 17, 19, 22, 37, 40, 59 are n/c on the PCB, but function as noted.
- 41 is n/c on the PCB, but has protection diode from GND, suggesting it may have a function.
- Pin 42 (Exp 16) puts out a 4.92 MHz square wave, ~50% duty.  This is 19.6608 MHz / 4.
- CPU2 /Reset comes from RF5C66 pin 68 on new revisions and selectable with J1, J2 on old revisions:
  - J2 closed = RF5C66 pin 37 (default)
  - J1 closed = RF5C66 pin 68
- Pin 24 prevents CPU2 functioning when held high at power-on.  If the pin is then driven low, the reset vector is then fetched after that.
  - Pin 24 can be freely used as a +reset at any time this way.
- Pin 25 low at any time causes address bus to go to $FFFF and data bus shows a toggle on bits 2,5,6,7: period 208.7 usec, low for 7.93 usec.
  - Other data bits always low.
  - Shortly after applying power, the toggle has a lot of variations for a period of about 1.5 seconds, including a 225 msec gap where the bits are low.
  - The mentioned data bits all appear to have the same data.
  - Held low at power-on will fetch the reset vector later when driven high.
  - Held high at power-on, driven low later, enters the data bus toggle mode but:
    - Does not appear to fetch the reset vector when driven high after that.
    - Does execute code, possibly resuming from where it left off.
- When pin 26 is set low (default case: This pin is tied directly to GND on the PCB):
  - Internal ROM is enabled in CPU2 range $E000-FFFF.
  - Open Bus in CPU2 range $C000-DFFF.
  - Pin 22 (ROM /CE) is enabled low in range $C000-DFFF
  - This mode allows ROM expansion at $C000-DFFF, with internal ROM (and its vector table) in place.
- When pin 26 is set high:
  - Internal ROM is disabled, leaving open bus in CPU2 range $E000-FFFF.
  - Open Bus in CPU2 range $C000-DFFF.
  - Pin 22 (ROM /CE) is enabled low in the entire range $C000-FFFF.
  - This mode allows a totally custom external CPU2 ROM with its own interrupt vector table.

Notes:
- 6 & 28 are connected together internally.
- 17 has no measurable connection to 6 & 28.
- All logic pins have protection diode from pin 17, suggesting this is the true GND.
- Pin 25 also appears as a logic pin with respect to pin 17.
- When pins 25 and 27 are both driven low, the data bus becomes an output.  Otherwise it is hi-z.
- Pins 13, 9, 8, 7, 41, 37 are controlled by the RF5C66.
  - Pins 13, 9, 8, 7, 41 are controlled with auto-increment function.
  - The value of these pins increments each M2 falling edge when the CPU is in range $5000-5FFF.
  - Pin 37 is a bankswitch, controlled by register $40B0.0
  - At reset and when reading from register $40B0, these pins reset to 0.
  - The conditions resetting or maintaining the bankswitch pin to 1 are still unknown.
