+* The CS8822 is a single-cycle 8051-based MCU with 64K-byte mask ROM and 10K-byte data SRAM for controlling
+  USB 2.0 mass storage devices, flash card reader controller, ATA/ATAPI drive controller and MP3 player decoder.
+
+* MS90C385B is a +3.3V, 150 MHz, 24-Bit LVDS Flat Panel Display Transmitter.
+
+The PCB was found without any USB mass storage on the USB port. It is unknown if it needs one
+(the serial EEPROM contents refers to files that are not on the MK25V4GL).
