For me the FD1079 numbers _sounds_ like a floppy disk chip of some
sort from Western Digital. They had that type of numbering. Maybe RCA
did a few of these. It could be a data separator or something.

I used to have an overview of these chips around here somewhere... it
where not in the big archive scope...

Hope it helps...
