put finger to keyboard and composed:
might the 16-pin IC a I2C maybe? If so, which
ones were commonly used to control an Intel 8748/8749 ?
I just uploaded seperate larger pics of the front and back side of the
PCB:

I am sorry to not have done that any earlier. On weekends I now have a
little more time to take better pics and start any systematical
diagnostic tests.
There appear to be 8 or so interconnect pins at the RHS of the 16-pin
IC. Can you trace them to the uC's pins? Do they go to the data bus,
ie pins 12 through 19?
As far as I can see Pins 12, 13 and 14 of the microcontroller are
connected to the interconnect pins at the RHS of the 16-pin IC.
Which pins are power and ground?
Pin 8 is V_SS (GND) and Pin 16 is V_DD (+5V) as far as I measured on
the 16-pin IC.
What is the IC
to the right of the relays?
Thatīs a PHILIPS CNY17-4 Optocoupler.
Which chip/component drives the relay
coils?
Thatīs actually a BC237B transistor each. They are hidden below the
piggyback PCB, unfortunately.
