Is the PPU2v2 documented or relevant for preservation? I've got a dead 2/1/2 board and was wondering if anyone's interested in it or if it's not worth the hassle.

We already have die shots (1 2); the problem is finding people who can separate, photograph, digitize and understand the layers.

I remember seeing those die shots in the old board but didn't know where to find them again, so thanks for sharing!

My doubt was whether there's any interest in documenting the differences between each PPU revision. According to Silicon Pr0n, those shots were done by mcmaster, so I guess I'll get in touch with him. It'd be nice to preserve all CPU and PPU revisions (and maybe find out what's unique about PPU2v2).

Isn't this a job for neural networks?

That'd be a cool project.
