VIC-20 should be pretty easy, since I believe the SID POT stuff was
probably lifted from the VIA circuits. The 2600 looks to operate on the
same principle, but the timebase looks different (measuring the time in
the links you sent implies a slower charge time, since a SW check would
take more time. On the plus side, it's easy to make the code runn slower.
For the code to operate, you'd have to know the min/max time period.
I thought I had a 2600 around, but I think it got trashed long ago.
