Mystery device

[Tony Allgood]

Hi all,

I have just received my latest order from Maplin, and as most Maplin
customers know, the fun one has discovering which parts they have
forgotten or put in their place. Well I ordered ten M3 bolts worth about
40pence, and got a 40 pin DIL IC. Easy mistake to make of course!!!
However, I am puzzled by the device. I can't find any reference to it in
their's, or any other catalogue. It has the folowing markings:

NEC
D8279C-2
9543X8026

NEC is obviously the manuf, and the lower line is probably the date
code, but the part number eludes me. Any ideas?

Regards,
