Well, to me, a C64 is a C64.  "Recent" means the "E" board.  There have
been several revisions of the internal C64, and two revisions of the
external C64 (the old plain C64, and the C64C, which is the one styled
like the C128).  It is, however, true that the E board I'm referring to
will only be found in C64C cases; it doesn't fit in the older case.  Along
with a small number of system chips, it also has only 3 RAM and 2 ROM chips.
But enough on C64s....
