The cooling plate suggests that this CPC 6128 board would be downgraded for supporting the pin-outs of the old gate array. Most bizarre, the The /INT resistor, R144, has white coatingcovering to protect it from heat generated by the Gate-Array, seen at lower-left edge of the cooling plate. On 464 boards similar coating covering is used on VCC2 resistors. This board was thought to be a joke but we found it in another unit.<br>Here's also [[Media:CPC6128 Z70290 MC0057A with cooling plate cpcmania.jpg|another picture]].
