FWIW, the numbers of the chips are located *under* the chips (on the wrong
side). I got a non-functional Ineptivision a few years back, and went as
far as to call GI for the FREE data book. They are heavy into custom chips.
One of the chips (I think the one on the far side turned sideways) is a 
pretty decent complex sound generator.

And yes, the GI 1610 is the worlds most screwed up processor. 10 bits.
Guess who'se 10-bit memories you had to use..... :-)
