Yes, but how do I know this BEFORE shelling out big bucks (see below)?
Commodore's parts list makes no distinction between Rev 6 and earlier
chips.

I agree with the editorial comment on the cost of Denise, but what
choice do I have?

I've heard a rumor about an "EHB upgrade kit" that has a different part
number which guarantees that you'll get an EHB Denise, any comment CATS?
Any chance of a lower price (remember your pricing of the 1.2 Enhancer
kit :-) ?

P.S. Leo, any chance of your posting the binaries of your latest
programs (yaiffr, etc) to comp.binaries.amiga for us "lesser primates"
that don't have a C compiler?
