I recently picked up two of the surplus alledged Commodore 64
circuit boards that have been advertised in Computer Shopper and
other places.  The ones I have came from Fair Radio in Lima Ohio
and were only about twenty bucks each.

They seem to work fine, I have one installed in my old VIC-20
case.

They have no color ram, no sound chip, no RF modulator, no switch
and no power connector.  The power up message is
COMMODORE 4064 BASIC 2.0
The boards are marked 1982 Rev A.

Could someone from Commodore tell me the history of these boards?
My guess is that thew were originally intended for the Educator
64, only it was going to be a PET followup, thereby getting the 
traditional PET model number (40 columns, 64K).  The Educators
being sold around here seem to have the full C64 board inside.
