NEO-PCM chip found in a MVS cartridge. Picture courtesy of [MVS-Scans].

V ROM banking and multiplexing chip, found in AES and MVS cartridges, and on ROM-only arcade boards. Used to multiplex V ROM (ADPCM-A and ADPCM-B) access to mixed-content ROM chips.

NEO-PCM2 can also be found in late cartridges and with NEO-YSA2.

On some cartridge boards, V A20~V A22 can be used to select which of the 4 possible V ROMs to use (decoded by a LS139).
