/* Internal details of the chip */
* [https://scarybeastsecurity.blogspot.com/2020/11/reverse-engineering-forgotten-1970s.html The decapped photos of Intel 8271, NEC D765 and Intel 8272 chips] prove that NEC D765 and Intel 8272 chips are identical.
*NEC uPD765 (or just D765) is exactly the same chip as the 8272. NEC and Intel cross-licensed a bunch of IP back in the day. [https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/8272-fdc-to-8-drive-connections.45816/#post-557651 Source]
* From [https://hackaday.com/2012/08/13/taking-a-look-at-decapped-ics/#comment-734991 a comment in the hackaday website]: "NEC uPD765 Floppy Disk Controller: Internally this is a microcoded part with a primative controller of NEC’s own design. Testing microcode embedded in a part can be troublesome. The uPD765 had a few extra gates associated with the DMA Request and DMA Ack pins. Presenting a certain illegal combination here places the part into a “test” mode and allows the sequencer microcode to be output on the normal Data pins. The sequencer microcode is responsible for high level commands such as Read Track, Recalibrate, Format Track, or Write Data. There is a similar test mode for the nano-code array which serializes data at the floppy disk head."
