What am I missing from this simplified Apple I motherboard map?

I'm working on a presentation for some upcoming Retro Roadshow events, and on one slide I want to quickly summarize the major components of the Apple I motherboard. Other than the big capacitors in the top-right quadrant, what am I missing currently that is noteworthy or worth calling out, and/or do you see any goofs in my current version?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Processor/PIA look good, the 2 chips left of the PIA are the program ROMS.

Memory you should "un circle" the left most 2 chips, and add in the 8 chips directly above. The 16 chips in the 2 rows left of the expansion slot and right of the 75154 are all RAM.

Many of the other ICs in rows C/D are for the terminal section.

Depending how detailed you want to go this site has a great interactive breakdown https://www.apple1registry.com/interactive/apple-1.html
