On all boards, right? I know there are several revisions of both the new
board (the mega-PLA has or has not the color RAM inside) and the old
board (different placement of SID/VIC/PLA).

My guess is that for the quantities of the SX-64 CBM was able to shifting at the price, it didn't pay to make a new ROM chip.

Ah, then a separate version for the SX-64 would need to be made.
Fortunately, I split this into two small boards - one with the ROM
plugin, and one above it with the Flash/CPLD chip. Only the bottom one
is changing :-)

I didn't see you made any? Where?
