Everything is made of standard 74xx circuits and standard DRAM's
(except the CPU and the CRTC) and it would be really nice to know that
the maximum and minimum delays is for each part of the circuit. (The
6525's doesen't count in this discussion as their timing isn't critical
to understanding how the complicated CPU-RAM-Refresh-Coprocessor stuff
works).

I wounder if anyone who designed or in general worked with the hardware
on theese machines at Commodore are still alive and remembers some
stuff? For example it would be nice to know why some signals are called
PUP1 and PUP2.
