Adam,

I found (using google) a datasheet here:

http://isc.portwell.com.tw/support/Technical%20Spec%20&%20Users%20Manual/datasheet/Winbond/83627hf.pdf

that mentions -AW and -PW versions of the chip. The HF appears
to have a 2KB programmable ROM for the 8042 controller; the
-AW supposedly comes pre-programmed with has AMIKEY firmware
and -PW with Pheonix Multikey firmware.

Hope this helps,
--Bob
