Some clarification of the errata for the Motorola DSP56858 is
presented below.
The Section titled "Chip Revision B Errata Information" makes the
following statement:

The following errata items apply only to Revision
A1 DSP56858 devices. These parts are either marked with
date codes of 0236 or greater (bottom line of marking). In fact, the title is correct and the errata items do apply to
Revision B of the devices.
Furthermore, a more precise breakdown of the parts by date code
follows: DATE CODE OF 858 REVISION LEVEL
-----------------------------------
0141-0214 A
0215-0232 A1
0233-0301 B The errata will be corrected in its next edition.
