See previous mail:
The reason is technically: (if my memory serves me well) the 6522 already
expects a valid address on the rising edge of CLK2. And we all (should) know
that the VIC-II controls the lower half of CLK2.

To be sure I'll have a peep in my databooks. I at least have the ones of CMD
and UMC. Maybe I even find differences.

BTW, does anybody know how (in)compatible the 6520 with a 6821 is? (AFAIK I
have NO datasheets of the 6520 :(  )

Groetjes, Ruud
