Ahh. OK, given that and what Nicolas wrote, I think my
code would be fine, as long as the CPU is within a
few percent of 1MHz (I could increase tolerance by adding
some more NOPs between dibits on c64 and drive code),
and as long as the job queue locations and codes have
not changed. I will leave the sync-per-byte in for
now, as it is safer for NTSC compatibility and
subtly different drives. I don't call any ROM routines,
either.

Cool. I thought I'd seen some circuit layouts, but must have
been thinking of your VIC20 games collection project.

*grin* Don't ask me; I'm not the one with the soldering iron ;)
(My soldering is _terrible_..)
