Hallo Marko, First thanks for placing the RTC GIF. Looking the result I noticed that my old email and URL are mentioned with the "External Kernal Card". Could you correct that please (or remove it)? > > IOCHCK is an active (L) signal meant to signal the PC that there is a memory > > parity error.

SW made sure that the PC did not see this NMI as a parity error. I don't see why other devellopers could not have done the same. > "input can be found"? Probably you meant "can't". Absolutely correct. > But there is such an input: the DMA signal (active low) will stop the CPU. Yes. But also tristates the address- and databus. And that is something that does not happen with the PC-bus. And I'm very sure not even wanted. > You could also use free VIC and SID addresses. The last VIC-IIe > register is at $d030, isn't it?

I read some discussions about this subject about a year (?) ago, but didn't realise this.
