ColecoVision Donkey Kong ROM Version - Date Codes

[ColecoFan1981]

Does anyone remember exactly when Coleco began using 16K ROM chips for Donkey Kong instead of the original 24K ROM chips?

 

Considering the system's original launch in summer 1982, the 24K ROM chips used initially would have been date coded between 8222 (week of May 31-June 6, 1982) and 8247 (week of November 22-28, 1982).

 

The 16K ROM chips for Donkey Kong were likely first date coded around 8248 (week of November 29-December 5, 1982).

 

Please let me know if you find any 24K ROMs date coded after 8248 or any 16K ROMs date coded before 8247.

 

Thank you very much,
