um, thats a negatory on that one. Whatever your trying to do though, prob=
ably isn't worth it. Chips like that are so specialized if anything its a s=
mall microprocessor which is already permanatly programed for a specific ta=
sk. If your really interested in vision look at some other ideas, like the =
earlier thread between me and wilf about using video cameras in BEAM.

I took this chip out of an old feed-through scanner that I had laying a=
round. I can't find a datasheet at NEC for it. This is what it looks like=
on the bottom of the chip.

NEC Japan

Any of you old-timers out have a heads up on this? I'd like to use it =
as a form of vision.
