Overview

It only exists on consoles up to the SCPH-39XXX series (GH-022 board). After that, it's functionality was overtaken by the new Dragon-MechaCon.

On B/B'/C/C' chassis consoles, it's located on a daughter board (GD-011 for B-chassis, GD-012 for B'-chassis, GD-013 for C and C' chassis), together with RTC, EEPROM, clock battery and part of the voltage regulation circuitry.
