`--------'
01,02: this doesn't make sense;
the VRC7 provides none of extra nametables, control of CIRAM /CE, nor CHR /CE.
Pin 48 appears to be derived from pin1 and pin2.
If it was {pin1 OR pin2}, i.e. CHR /CE, it could be used for a 28-pin CHR ROM, but why didn't TTA2 use it?
17,18: missing on TTA2, 3.58MHz ceramic resonator on LP
19: A3 on TTA2, A4 on LP
Expansion audio mixing circuit:[1]
The audio is mixed through an epoxy daughterboard with a 9 pin SIP connector. Pins 4-6 are unconnected,
since they were primarily used for laser trimming the resistors during production.

Equivalent circuit schematic:
The daughterboard uses a dual channel op-amp for amplification. One channel is terminated.

Note that "DEBUG" mode is not function compatible with the default way the VRC7 is wired; nukeykt says that “in debug mode VRC7 changes its pinout: Pin 4 -> /CS, Pin 27 -> /IC, Pin 28 -> /WE, Pin 19 -> A0. Also at least pins 2 and 47 somehow affect debug mode”
