In the CBM archive, there are two versions, so there were at least two versions :-)

I separated the quote here. Is it really clear that in the following he meant the SuperPET or not 'just another' PET board version?

What a pity. Someday I'll have to dig up a 6809 emulator and put it into VICE, so we can find out how this IC is accessed and what it does....
But when I look at my TODO list, it'll take ages....
