-While the CPU might be different between versions (newer models do operate at 12 MHz, in contraposition to older models at 8 MHz), the pinout seems to be largely the same in all three versions. +While the CPU might be different between versions (newer KX-TD models do operate at 12 MHz, in contraposition to older models at 8 MHz), the pinout seems to be largely the same in all three versions.

 +Those systems seem to be typically equipped with four RAM and two ROM chips. TA1232's Service Manual seems to suggest they might not be always populated. On my TD816BX, [[telephony:td816bx_hardware|they are]]. Since this is a purpose built embedded computer, rather than a general computer, we got SRAM chips soldered to exactly the number of lines they need, without room for larger chips.

 +I couldn't ascertain why the heck we have two small 32K chips as the first two SRAM IC's, although I find quite interesting the fact that the configuration dump does result in a file that's approximately 64 KB in size, and I remember reading somewhere that those systems hold the configuration in the SRAM's. How this is holding up after all those years scapes me, but the battery I thought to be specific to the RTC may have something to do with this.
