Please excuse me for jumping in (I just subscribed and hav'nt read
prior to this---YET!)

Wanted to add some 8520 info that may be relevant to your 6526:

An AC mains frequency signal of 50 or 60 HZ is coupled to pin 19 of
the 8520.
On the A500, Pin 19 is direct connected to Vertical Sync. ~50-60 HZ
In the A1000, 2000, and 3000 models, this timebase is from the AC
mains. (Rumored to syncronise video with flourescent light flicker)
Mains freq AC goes thru an optical isolator, and is buffered with a
7414 schmitt trigger to correct TTL level. This signal is a direct
connection to the TOD clock in the A1000.
The timebase source for A2000 and 3000 models can be either the AC
signal, or Vertical Sync selected with a jumper.
The other pin 19 input, on the other CIA,  is connected to Horizontal
sync, ~15.75Khz on the above models.

So perhaps the Pin 19 YOUR discussing really is a clock input. Or else
it should be pulled high right?

Now, what the heck all you talking about anyway? 8-)
