I think that's the revision of the user manual errata, not the chip's 
errata sheet. http://www.mot.com/SPS/HPESD/aesop/680X0/040/040de.txt 
seems to be the device errata, although I don't know what revision it 
is.

However, the bottom of that document says:
   MC Maskset (2E71M) corrects  #I1 - #I5, #H1, half of #E2, #E3 - #E4, #G2
   MC Maskset (2E42K) corrects  #I1 - #I5, #H1, half of #E2, #E3 - #E4, #G2, 
                                #F1 - #F6

I can't find the descriptions of those bugs though; the items in 
040de.txt are numbered 1 through 12.
