A non-ROM error -- some (or maybe all) of the CIA's do not give correct Time-Of-Day results. (Yes, I know the registers are BCD, not binary, mine still runs at ~2.5 times correct speed). This isn't used by any software I know of, but probably explains the reason that the system time is kept by a software clock which can be, and is, disrupted by I/O activity. Also: since joystick 1 is normally in parallel with the keyboard, holding it left (?) is the same as holding the CTRL key, causing the program to slow way down. This can really disrupt a game! -- Doug Pardee -- Terak Corp. -- !{hao,ihnp4,decvax}!noao!terak!doug
