I've talked to my dealer, and he's willing to order in Denise for me
(and even give a discount if I can get several others to order Denise),
but the burning question is "How can we be sure that it will be a rev. 6
chip with Extra Half Brite?"

With Denise listing for $65.40, I sure don't want to wind up with one
that doesn't have EHB!

According to my dealer he has no way of telling rev 6 from the older
chips. The price list doesn't even distinguish an A1000 Denise from an
A500/2000 Denise.

Also, is there any chance of a price break from Commodore as an EHB
upgrade policy? Even at 20% off, that's still $52.32 for Denise. ($30 or
so would be nice :-)
