As one of the few owners of a P-500 I can assure you that the video chip IS a
VIC-II (6567) Powers up with black letters on a white background and a cyan
or blue border if I remember correctly.
The connector is a 64/VIC DIN style (I assume 5 pin as it was manufactured
along with the early 64s. The photos on my p-500 web page are pretty blurry
though. I will have to bring it in and do better pics of it).
I don't know why having the VIC-II would be absurd; it was one of the
computers of the 1982 lineup that included the 64, Ultimax, and B-128.
P.S. the SuperPET's 'MMF' stands for "Micro Mainframe". ;-)
