Re: MOS 6525 and 6523A's

Small problem. The supplier contacted me to say they've received the 
chips from their source but when checked, the 6523A's are in fact 
6532A's (RIOT chips.) These they have offered as replacements at $9 
each, which I'm going to take instead and distribute to those that are 
interested.
