It was confirmed Previously that the Hynix 128 MB NAND memory chip contained the firmware and that is where the video files are stored.  With that in mind, and the previous failure to read the information from the chip after transplanting into a Lexar Jump drive, a more rudimentary approach was taken.  A Belkin SmartMedia reader was used as the base (net $7.00 from Staples), after reviewing information at http://elm-chan.org/docs/sm_e.html which describes SmartMedia  as a compact form of a NAND memory chip, and identified the pin-out for the the card, and thus the reader.  The following pictures show the setup...

A chip adapter was purchased (it's a 40 pin adapter, so the chip pins #1, #2, #23, #24, #25, #26, #47 and #48 are not connected) and connected through a bread board to the SmartMedia reader.  Additional pictures are below:

At this point, software seems to be the fly in the ointment.  The media reader is recognized under Windows, but I have not yet been able to mount it under Mac OS9 or Linux.  I have a high level of confidence with the hardware, but getting to read or copy the image from the chip has proven fruitless so far.
