As I mentioned already in this thread - only (some) of the HMOS-II chips expose the problem. Among those which do, it may depend on the chip's temperature (problem fades with temperature rising). OTOH no single NMOS based VIC expose the issue even with the same board timing. Yes, you can patch the _CS line with a cap and crudely work the problem around this way but I say it once again: with the very same _CS timing no NMOS VIC produces the annoying sparkles. So it is up to whoever reads this to decide whether this is a bug of the board/PLA/replacement or the actual HMOS-II VIC. For me it's the latter.
