It's the old (say non-ECS) Denise-Chip.
As far as I know the ICD-FFV plugs in between the Denise and its socket.
So it's obvious that the Denise is seen on the ICD board.
Remember, DENISE and AMBER are totally different chips,
as amber is only processing denise's output!

I hope this clears things up...
