Hi Gerrit,

I have two 6569R4s, 6569R4 3585 and 6569R4 4285. I will check this, but I 
think every 6569R4 and 6569R5 I have (that still works) has the colour $F 
light grey 2 pixel dots.

Recently I went to the trouble of documenting all my C64 board revisions, 
SID types and VIC-II types. From the info I obtained, it looks like MOS only 
made 6569R4s briefly in 1985, and then went back to making 6569R3s for a bit 
before switching to 6569R5s. There is a 6569R3 0586 that I think was a part 
fitted by a repair outfit, because it was in a machine with 1983 parts 
except for that and a 906114-01 3086 PLA. I would be interested to see if 
there are other chips out there that are consistent with, or contradict, 
this hypothesis.

Here are the VIC-IIs in date code order, NTSC then PAL. I have moved a few 
chips around a few machines so they are not necessarily in the machine they 
originally came in. Also, some of my machines have obvious signs of being 
repaired and having had chips replaced before I obtained them. I use the 
terminology 'C64' for a breadbox machine, either tall case or short case. 
'64C' for the 250466 12V 65xx-containing machines and 'C64C' for 250469 9V 
85xx machines.
