The LC98000 found in the NeoGeo CD is a pin-compatible (and software compatible ?) [cell] version of the LC8953 DMA/IRQ controller.

The "LC98000" part number is actually a generic one for the technology used to make the chip. For example, a totally unrelated "LC98000" can also be found in the Panasonic 3DO.
