Hmm, anyone know who had a hand in the design? I could maybe poke a few 
contacts and ask "do you know how to reach such-and-such?", if I knew who I 
need to be asking after :-)

Also, is it *that* hard to reverse-engineer and produce a pin-compatible 
equivalent? (maybe a smaller IC of some form on a carrier board?) Why the need 
to try and clone the actual chip from visual inspection - simply for 
curiosity? (A noble enough reason ;)

cheers
