| 1996-10-31 | 190045 | 1541-II.340503.gif | 1541-II schematic diagram, by Commodore. According to the 1571 Service Manual, the Gate Array (251828 or 64H156) has some different revisions (-01, -02 and -03). Revisions -01 and -03 have only 40 pins, but -02 has 42 pins.

Also, his boards have the latest (-03) Gate Array, with some wiring on the pin 21 (OSC). | |
