I had virtually no doc whatsoever. The unit I got working was from their
test bench. It was a TD only model with front panel modified with extra
push buttons for the Lat/Long version. I also got a few thousand of the
unstuffed PC cards. At a guess, the GRI lookup tabvle would have been in
the slave (Lat/Long) processor's ROM.

In those days, I did not have a logic state analyzer, so know nothing more
about the SW.

No. My only Raytheon contact died about 3 years ago.  :((.

Sorry, I have little more to offer on this,
