They are the same -- I misread a diagram in the RX02 manual, which made me
think the M8357 working as an RX28 could do DMA transfers. It can't. Only
the RX211 and RXV21 use RX DMA INTR L.

I'v just pulled the printset of that card (which, alas, says

Interesting. I think where you wrote "H : RX INIT L", you mean "N". H is
a ground, and the RX02 printset clearly shows N as RX INIT L. That agrees
with the tracks I can see on the M7744.
