PCB Number Schematics Revisions Note
Original 326298-01 326106 Original, 1,2,3,4,5,6,A,B,C 5-pin board
(CN5-Video port has 5 pins).
KU-14194HB KU-14194HB 251022 Original,A,B,C The KU-14194HB was the first C64 board with separate Y/C video signals. It is a PAL only board.
A (CR) 250407-04 251138 Original,A,B,C, D 8-pin board
(CN5-Video port has 8 pins)
B 250425-01 251469 Original,A,B,C 8-pin board (reduced oscillator circuit)
CIAs, ROMs, CPU, SID, PLA, and VIC may be all socketed
B-2 240441-01 251469 Original 8-pin board
(reduced oscillator with component changes).
B-3 250466 252278 Original,A Longboard C version
Only 2 RAM chips, U9, U10
the last revision to the classic C64 motherboard
It was otherwise identical to the 1984 design, except for the two 64 kilobit × 4 bit DRAM chips that replaced the original eight 64 kilobit × 1 bit ICs
After the release of the C64C, MOS Technology began to reconfigure the C64's chipset to use HMOS production technology
The main benefit of using HMOS was that it required less current to drive the IC, which consequently generates less heat
This enhanced the overall reliability of the SID and VIC-II. The new chipset was renumbered to 85xx to reflect the change to HMOS
E 250469 252312 Original, 1,2,3,4,A,B Shortboard C version
KERNAL & BASIC ROMS combined into U4
New IC memory controller, U8 The "short board" used the new HMOS chipset, featuring a new 64-pin PLA chip
The new "SuperPLA", as it was dubbed, integrated many discrete components and Transistor--Transistor Logic (TTL) chips
In the last revision of the C64C motherboard, the 2114 color RAM was integrated into the SuperPLA
