Okay, opening it was easier than first suspected. The main (biggest) chip reads with nice big letters and a logo: eMPIA EM2860 P86J3-011 201047-01AG Less useful information inlcudes: A smaller chip on the flip side of the circuit board, in letters visible only through a magnifying glass, reads: eMPIA TECHNOLOGY EMP202 T10164 1052 The circuit board itself is stamped: PM22860-2GOB Again, thank you.
