        I've always found it interesting that some documents,
including the Intellivision FAQ, list it as using the GI CP1600 at
500KHz while other documentation, including the Blue Sky Rangers
site, lists it as using the CP1610 at roughtly 900KHz. Supposedly
they are they same other than the differing clock rates. All agree
that the chip had 16bit registers, 16bit data bus and 10bit
instructions.
