Board 250442 is the 1541A. This is why it is necessary to check the board
number and not the model number on the case.

The D500 on my 1541 says
D500 R69-0001
Perhaps we need to include that extra information with Newtronics drives.
Could you also look for the model number on the Chinon? Their labels are
