He probably meant 59456, i.e. $e840 VIA, Port B. (I know why I normally use symbolic names for pin names... :-) VIA PB5 has the mentioned Sync input, that is also connected to PIA#1, CB1 (should be $e813, 59411), to generate the system interrupt once a frame (see the RESET routine, it enables the CB1 interrupt). The other stuff is PIA#1, CA2 (should be $e811, 59409) that drives the "BLANK TV / -EOI" line (see http://www.funet.fi/pub/cbm/schematics/computers/pet/2001/320130-1.gif) and that, in early PETs, give that blinking when saving to disk, or the flash effects Jim mentioned. Later the "blank screen" feature for this output pin has been removed. Andre -- Email address may be invalid.
