Hi. I'm very confused with a Pang 3 B board I have found. My board is as like the photo:

I have many doubts about if it's original or not:

- The serigraphy and size of the board is exact.
- The memories and mask roms have been changed for working with the C-board (B-15). Many say 11/95.
- There isn't the "MITCHELL" word to the left of the number board, neither de "RS" inverted word to the right of the number board, like this other board:

Seeing that the B board is completely exact except the "MITCHELL" word and de "RS" word and the memories, I have these questions.

Could it be really an original B board without the "MITCHELL" word in it? Could it be that in the origin, the C board with the B-21 chip was broken, and the B board was adapted to work with de B-15 chip, and that's why some memories say 11/95 and the mask roms aren't original? The clone of the board is intriguing.
