22572257      * Unlike the much more complex keyboard controller used in the AT/3270, this one only has one rom,
22582258        a motorola made "(M)1503828 // XE // 8434A XM // SC81155P" custom (an MCU?; the more complicated
22592259        3270/AT keyboard card uses this same exact chip), an 8254, and some logic chips.
2260        (I can't tell based on the lousy picture (http://www.seasip.info/VintagePC/Images/5271kbc.jpg)
2261        whether it has pals or proms on it, nor can the location numbers of anything be clearly seen.)
2260        Thanks to high resolution pictures provided by John Elliott, I can see that the location of the
2261                  chips is unlabeled (except for by absolute pin position on the back), and there are no pals or proms.
22622262      * The board is stickered "2683114 // 874999 // 8446 SU" on the front.
22632263      * The board has a single DE-9 connector where the keyboard dongle connects to.
22642264      * The keyboard dongle has two connectors on it: a DIN-5 connector which connects to the Motherboard's

23222322         "(M)1503194 // XE KGA005 // 8616N XM // SC81156P" (40 pins, at U36, likely an MCU)
23232323         "S8613 // SCN2672B // C4N40 A // CP3303" (40 pins, at U24, also possibly an MCU)
2324      ** The Frame-Buffer? Card (with 2 48-pin customs on it which are probably gate arrays and not MCUs,
2325         an empty ?rom? socket, an Intel Id2147H-3, a bank of 12 16k*4-bit inmos ims2620p-15 DRAMs
2326         (tms4416 equivalent)), is stickered "6487836 // A24969 // 6400 SU" on the back.
2324      ** The All Points Addressable (Frame buffer?) card. Description is pending, but its older and
2325         less ASIC-ified (more discrete chips) than the later version of the card included with the
2326         AT/3270. It also is shaped in such a way that it cannot be inserted into a 16-bit ISA slot.
2327         Description of the later AT/3270 APA card is below (functionality is PROBABLY the same between the two):
2328      ** The All Points Addressable (Frame buffer?) card, (with 2 48-pin customs on it which are
2329         probably gate arrays and not MCUs, an empty ?rom? socket, an Intel Id2147H-3, a bank of 12

2331         "6487836 // A24969 // 6400 SU" on the back.
23272332      *  The pcb is trace-marked "EC 999040" on the back, and silkscreened "RC 2682819" on the front
23282333      ** The optional Programmable Symbol Card (with an AMD AM9128-10PC, and six tms4416-15NL DRAMS,
23292334         and a fleet of discrete logic chips, but no roms, pals, or proms) is stickered
