Man,...so the 9-181 module with the A9982-00 audio chip on it is 22 years
old ?
I guess time flys when we are having fun !
Might be that production stopped on that IC, due to either the quality went
in,...or Zenith knew tha Internet was coming,...and we always would have a
few duds laying around, to pull parts from !
;-)
