The Pitfall II chip was designed (by David Crane?) to be a general
purpose "helper" chip. Not really a coprocessor, but it's getting
there. Unfortuantely, it only saw action in Pitfall II.
Regarding the POKEY chip...I knew that at least one of them (7800 games)
had a pokey on board. I'd also be interested in getting datasheets for
that little marvel :) Seems like I saw a technical document floating around
a couple of years ago, but I didn't snag it then, and I haven't seen it
for a while now....
