4-4-3 CPU (LOGIC UNIT)
The CPU (IC1) contains an 8-bit CMOS CPU, a 60 k-byte
ROM, a 2 k-byte RAM. A 9.8304 MHz clock is used for rapid
operation. The CPU controls the operating frequency, mode,
function display, etc. The memory channel information is
stored in the EEPROM (IC2).
The Icom CI-V network system allows the IC-78 to be
remotely controlled by a personal computer using an RS-
232C I/O port.
