I'm not sure where the die revision would show up there, but in any case 
I didn't find indication there are other r200 chips around which have a 
different designation (215R7MAGA13H is I think what matters here, though 
8500/9100 cards all have a r200 chip with 215R7AAGA13H instead, not sure 
why it would have a different name there).
