BTW, from the "credit where credit is due" department... While looking
for something the other day I found this thread:

Not exactly what I am doing, but more-or-less the same idea!
It's funny, because at that time I had practically zero interest
in the original CoCo (i.e. non-CoCo3) platform and almost certainly
glazed over that post if I read it at all. There was even some talk
of dealing with PAL timings in another part of the overal topic:

Everything old is new again, I suppose... :-)
