also worth noting that one is Low-power Schottky (bipolar transistors), where as the other is High-Speed CMOS (the later mos-fet rival to LS). They're pin compatible unles you're using them in something that relies on the exact propogation delays or voltgate characteristics. (early video or HDisk)

While tommy robinson's nutters are protesting outside... the real patriotic nutters are all in the albert hall.. why tie flags to lampposts when you can wave them inside where its warm & dry ?

My dad bought a C64 based on my appraisal of the Reference manual. Don't have the machine any more, but still keep the manual - such a nice book !

TBH, the disasembly's have been pretty well documented since the early 80's, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to write our own extensions, and utilities such as renumber & variable dump.
