each scanline has a "number of cycles", so the speed isn't an issue with the cycle count, bu the raster - horizontal dot counter which runs from 0 to 227 at 1.whatever Mhz (fastmode) has a fraction and 2
tables which is has 1/2 cycle values instead of whole cycles, so in slow mode... I simply add a fraction. This works perfectly... as a demo generates code from the timer value(!) and it works.. (I never thought it EVER would!).
So... perhaps it'll be okay... as long as everything else revolves around these values rather than the current "speed".

I have barely enough time to scratch Minus/4 these days... I really would have liked to as well.... but I couldn't do it justice! which would be worse for anyone else adding to it.
