RE: userport: C64, Plus4, others?

I have to admit that I read this and said "really, I thought everything
was rally a 2mhz part to do the bus sharing".  So I got out my softbound
copy of the C128 Programmers Guide and  there in my own words that /IOACC
will extend the clock cycle.

Evidentially the remaining 12 neurons that comprise my memory matrix where
the C128 is stored no longer stores enough facts to be accurate. Glad we
wrote it down... speaking of which I swear that a word-o-tron could have
written better than I did back then, talk about dry, tense changing
partial sentences.  Lol... one of the women in chip layout taught me to
not change from past to future tense in the same sentence.... after the
manual was written.

So yup, what Garret said.

Anyone have a softbound programmers manual in good condition?  Mine loses
a page every time I pick it up.

The CIAs in a C128 are 1MHz models and as far as I understand it, even if
the CPU runs at 2MHz, the CIAs still run at 1MHz and the CPU clock is
'stretched' to a 1MHz cycle if a CIA (and SID?) access is detected.

So running the C128 at 2MHz will make the copy loop faster, but not quite
twice as fast.
