[sebhc] IC information

Glyn,
I just happen to have the data sheet. According to it, the extra lead on
the 79MG is a control lead that determines the output voltage. On the H8,
R233 and R234 sets it to -5VDC. Quiescent current at 25 degrees C is
typically 0.5 mA (2.5 mA max). Peak output current is 650 mA. The 7905 is
about 1 mA (2 mA max) quiescent with a peak output of 2.1 amps.
If you wanted to hack the hardware, you could probably sub it with the 7905.
Looking at the H8 schematic and circuit board x-ray views, the only chips
it appears to feed is the CPU at pin 11 and the ROM (IC-204) at pin 21
through a jumper, T1-T2. The latter was probably to accommodate various
types of ROMs and EPROMs.
Regards,
Bill
