VDP

The Genesis/Megadrive contained a relatively powerful display processor (for the time), otherwise known as the VDP. This occupied position IC-8 on the circuit board, and is numbered 315-5313.

Note:
Oddities with the way that memory is connected to the VDP means that the local V-RAM chips are split across a dedicated data bus and a shared data/address bus. I'm not sure why this is!
