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!
