Chip name Maker/Brand System / driver Priority Notes
DP8534-V National Semiconductor Second-generation 68040 Macs (Quadra and Centris 610/650/800) Low I was able to reverse-engineer enough of this chip from a Linux driver to create a usable emulation (thanks smf!) but some details are still unclear.
F8680 PC/CHIP Chips and Technologies Cablenet 2039 Controller Low Enhanced 8086 CPU with PC-like on-chip peripherals and one or two custom instructions. Some documentation is online, but Programmer's Reference Manual (UG75) is missing.
HPC family National Semiconductor Various ISA/MCA storage controllers, AGE crane games Low The most detailed architectural reference, the HPC16083/HPC16043/HPC16003 User's Manual (424410897-001A), is unavailable, though datasheets and application notes are easy to find.
M16 series (e.g. M31002S2HP) Mitsubishi Korg Trinity Low 32-bit CISC architecture related to M32 (but not M32R, M16C or M32C). https://github.com/linuxha/asl/ supports its assembly language.
MN16xx Panafacom Fujitsu/Panafacom/Matsushita FACOM 9450, C-15/C-x80 and Operate xxx series Low http://www.st.rim.or.jp/~nkomatsu/panafacom/MN1610.html has a lot of info but isn't complete, especially for the MN1617.
MN1860 series Panasonic CD-ROM drives Low Upgrade of MN1880. Selection guide summarizes features of a few models. Instruction set mostly deduced from reverse engineering.
MN1880 series Panasonic Novation synthesizers, various CD-ROM drives Low Selection guide summarizes features of a few models. Instruction set mostly deduced from MN1872423 (MN1870 series) documentation and reverse engineering, but most internal registers remain mysteries.
SPC900/SPC970 series Sony MechaCon in older PlayStation 2 models Low Very little is known about this 16-bit MCU architecture beyond some not very informative datasheets.
