Legend:
-------

(s) means this pin connects to the System
(r) this only connects to the ROM
(w) this is a SRAM/WRAM connection only
PRG : these connect to the PRG ROM and/or fami's PRG pins
WRAM : this hooks to the WRAM

Note: There is a 3.58Mhz ceramic resonator connected to the "X1" and "X2" 
pins.  it is the three-pin style with internal caps tied to the third pin
which is grounded.
                                  
Chip is physically marked: "VRV VII 053982"
