Wow, you found a prototype board!

This is obviously (by the part number) after the 250425, but curiously
BEFORE 250466. Maybe this board was not stable or the new PLA could not be
manufactured quickly or cheaply enough (it was not a Commodore chip- I
thought it was a Sanyo) so they stuck with the old design for one more
iteration?
