Ahh, yes, here's the story about the 2716.... gather around the fire...
The chip prior to the 2716 was the Intel 2708. The 2708 used a configuration
of transistors that required 5V, 12V and -5V (like the 8080). Texas
Instruments and Motorola both 2nd sourced Intel and at the same time Intel
prototyped the 2716, TI and Mot started building the "TMS2716" which are also
tri-voltage devices. But, Intel improved the transistor configuration and
produced their i2716, which only used 5V. All the other chip makers were "1
step" behind, so they benefited from Intel's new technology and also built 5V
only 2716's. Bottom line, be very careful when plugging a 2716 into a socket,
make sure that socket isn't wired/powered for the TMS2716, or else you'll be
damaging your chip.
If you plug a TMS2716 into a 5V only socket, it just won't work, data will be
all FF's I think.
After searching various data books and IC Master, I found that only TI and Mot
chips are tri-voltage and are labeled TMS2716. I did a write up on this, it's
posted on Herb Johnson's website somewhere...
Cheers,

In my drawers I found
TMS2716C - apparently not supported by GQ-4XAM2716DC - Looks to be supported by
GQ-4X as 'AM2716'AM2732A-2DC - I found a setting for 'AM2732A' I wonder what
the 2DC, missing from GQ device id, means?
What I'm reading is that the 2732 is pin compatible with the 2716. Comments?
