It should be RRIOT, yes, but I think the original datasheets still call it
RIOT. Not sure, though.

That's a common mistake: Not the 6523 has a 28pin package, the 6523T has it
(it's used in the 1551 cartridge). They both share very probably the same
die. The 6525 on the other hand has the same 40pin package as the 6523, but
it has handshake and priority interrupt capabilities added.
The 1551 drive also has the 6510T CPU, which I think differs from the
standard 6510 CPU as well.
