As an update, I decided to try this. Instead of having both sides of
the interface handles by different timer IRQs, I combined them, as the
transfer of 1 byte of data from the originating system is clocks by a
20uS clock, which is 160uS/byte. Thus, when I see the falling edge, I
transfer a byte. The transfer and the parse of the incoming byte is
taken care of before the charge cycle starts, so the jitter I was seeing
went completely away.
However, even with no jitter, the LSB still fluctuates. It even
fluctuates when I comment out all the code except the POT emulation code
(and set the POTs to 127). So, the SID must not be capable of 1LSB
resolution. Makes sense, as they were just paddles, who cares about the
LSB?
