Right. Like I said, the original TED prototypes must pre-date this by 
several months so the keyboard 6529 must already have been part of the 
core architecture. I have a pre-production C16 board which is earlier 
than this one (based on the date codes) and that has the 6529.

Yes, it seems OK other than being slightly fast in an NTSC board. I 
don't know whether it's my imagination but some of the games & demos 
appear to have wrong colours though. I will compare to some 8360's and 
see if there is a difference. I have other 7360R7's to compare with.

No, it works fine and yes it's a 25164-02. I'd swapped out some of the 
chips when it first failed to boot and I never put it back for these videos.

Yes, they're and their; your and you're.

Ooh! I just noticed that this is a 7501R1 (0184) whereas my early C16 
has a 7501 (5283) I wonder if they're different?
