Maybe you're looking for the VIC-Artikel (German) or VIC-Article
(English) composed by Christian Bauer some ten years ago?  It's
based on measurements by Andreas Boose and me, among others.

If I remember correctly, the 6567R5 and R56A have 64*262 cycles and
newer NTSC chips (6567R8 and later) have 65*263 cycles.  I would
assume that the 6566 (used in the VIC-10 aka Ultimax) is similar
to the 6567R56A.  All PAL chips should be 63*312 cycles.

Has anyone seen a 6567R7 or a chip earlier than 6567R5?  Or a 6569R2,
for that matter?  I've only come across to 6569R1, 6569R3,
6569R4 (rare) and 6569R5, and of course the newer HMOS chips.

Please check the VIC-Article.
