It has an interal Mask-ROM, likely as a bootstrap, but most of its firmware is located on an external NOR-flash (Fujitsu MB85432BF). The firmware on the external flash is updatable. These updates are automatically performed during normal PSX firmware updates. | ||

In the PSX, it handles HDD access and DRM/security functions. Little is known about it at the time, and it could be a target for efforts to make generic hard drives work in the PSX. | In the PSX, it handles HDD access and DRM/security functions.

The MB91302A could optionally be ordered with 4 KB custom built-in Mask-ROM content, which is what Sony did for the PSX (Chip identifier is MB91302A-103; -001 would be without ROM, -010 would be with a Fujitsu real time OS (SOFTUNE REALOS/FR) in ROM, -020 would be with a Fujitsu IPL in ROM). Despite having custom Mask-ROM content, it still most likely runs a variant of SOFTUNE REALOS, as the firmware contains strings which indicate this. | The MB91302A could optionally be ordered with 4 KB custom built-in Mask-ROM content, which is what Sony likely did for the PSX (Chip identifier is MB91302A-103; -001 would be without ROM, -010 would be with a Fujitsu real time OS (SOFTUNE REALOS/FR) in ROM, -020 would be with a Fujitsu IPL in ROM).
