10: on the Vs. System daughterboards, this is instead CPU /A15
No behavioral differences are known between the five different part numbers; several games were released on the same board with identical code and different mapper ICs.
Functional Variations
Many boards (and thus iNES mappers) redefined parts of the pinout for various extensions, mostly to increase the amount of addressable CHR ROM.

AX-24G, NTDEC8701, AX5604P KS 204
KS204:
- MODE: If pin 3 is low on a falling edge of RESET, it operates in N108 mode. If it's high, or before the first falling edge of RESET, it operates in VRC2 mode. [1]
- Pins marked with * change behavior in VRC2 mode
