Hardware Design Information Respository

Post by Neila »

A lot of smart people say things like "If Sony did this and that it will never work." well... the idea of information repository is to check how much we know and instead of speculating on what Sony has done for something not to work, maybe we can harness some brain-power and find things that may work, test them and confirm/reject theories and speculations.

Other stuff
===========

UMD laser flatcable
18 of 22 used. other 4 have pins allocated on the chip but no idea what they do

# Crystal oscillator 27 MHz
2700L
E52QA

# Crystal 4 MHz
[M] 4.00B

# Crystal 32.768 KHz
A507Y



That clockchip converts 27 MHz into:
* 36.83 MHz ?
* 22.58 MHz ?
* 27.00 MHz ?
* 48.00 MHz USB
* ? MHz ?
Note... I don't know if my frequency counter got it correct since it only shows two digits before and after decimal point.
