Not 100% sure how it is done, but there must be some "pause" with both
RAS and CAS high between VIC and CPU access to ram, so you shouldn't
count on having a full half period of the 1MHz clock for memory access,
but slightly less. But that maybe eqauls to CAS asserted halfway
through a 1MHz half cycle?
