Well, that's very interesting, since the picture I have of the ICD FFV, 
has this nice, big, juicy, COMMODORE de-interlacing chip sitting on it.
There must be a lot of similarities, no?  What say Scott?

BTW Scott, do you know whether the A2088 will refuse to work with certain
VGA boards, if it's got the old (....4) rather than new (....6) rom on
it?  I'm having trouble with an Orchid Prodesigner, and Randall suggested
it might be the ROM..  I'd like to have a more concrete idea before I 
go through the special-order process..thanks.
