    33CQFD was announced in 1998 and stopped in 2001 (sources: https://www.lsa-conso.fr/cqfd-une-deuxieme-marque-pour-vtech,27091 , https://www.lesechos.fr/2001/02/vtech-france-a-la-recherche-dun-nouveau-souffle-710803 )

    79It uses the same soundchip as the IQ unlimited laptop (https://alexandre.botzung.fr/fr/vtech-i-q-laptop), VTECH part number 27-05992-0-0. It appears to be based on TI MSP50C3x microcontroller (https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spsu006c/spsu006c.pdf?ts=1617221600403) based on TI markings on the chip, and matching pinout.
