Overview

Syscon handles power, power-LEDs, tray loading (in conjunction with MechaCon, which actually controls the tray and the blue LED), front buttons and some thermal management.

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.

Hardware

Syscon is always a Toshiba TMP87C807U. It has a Mask-ROM of 8 Kilobytes (8 K x 8 bits) and a RAM of 256 Bytes (256 x 8 bits). <imgur w=480>M02YRsm.jpg</imgur>
