Thanks for that. It seems to make sense against the PCB I'm investigating...

I never thought to look in Amstrad service manuals (and I have quite a 
number of them). They sed the SED9420 quite a lot (in the CPC, PCW, etc), 
but never with an external VCO.

Are you sure the SED9421 is not a complete data seperator? The PCB I am 
looking at (from an Epson PF10 drive unit) doesn't seem to have much else 
around the 765 disk controller chip.
