Robie Jr deeper inspection

Okay, so oscilloscopes are expensive. So I purchased this very intriguing piece of hardware. The Bitscope. Oh yeah, its cool. Can you do microbiology with out a microscope? Nope. So an oscilloscope and a logic analyzer are a must for in-depth tinkering. I've laid out the schematic in Inkscape and begun the slow deconstruction and probing.

7-E055-R1. M6411B-24.

Here's what I have been able to learn currently.
LB1630 are cheap and common to the 1980's motor controllers.

You can run the Robbie Jr on 5V 800 milliamps. Yes, you can only power the h bridges if you only want to bot to move and nothing else...but what kind of challenge is that?

M6111B-24 is still quite a mystery to me.

8622EY is the audio chip.
Pin 1 is power
Pin 13 is ground
Pin 15 is the sound output.
