Re: VIC 20 CR boards 250403 and 251037

I can't fully confirm that now (I am not there, where those parts are) but I recall that some of the VC-20 boards of mine had indeed fly-wire(s) attached. If I recall correctly those were two-wire cables split on the end. Might be able to fully check it by the end of the week.
