Everything about MOS Technology 8563
The 8563 Video Display Controller (VDC) was an integrated circuit produced by MOS Technology. It was used in the Commodore 128 (C128) computer to generate an 80-column RGB video display, running alongside a VIC-II which supported Commodore 64-compatible graphics. The DCR models of the C128 used the later and more technically advanced 8568 [D]VDC controller. Wikipedia →
