Not if output lags input by 1 bit.

Of course--that's what I meant.  But note that it complicates
signal processing--expecially if done in the analog domain.

Emulators have done this in a reasonable manner for years with various
algorithms, so I don't see why the hardware solution we've all been
waiting for should be so much more limited.

Anyway, no-one else is complaing, so I guess I've had my say. ;-)

One must be careful about introducing "yet another" rendering
of Apple II graphics, since past designers will certainly not
have anticipated it and future designers would have even more
choices about rendering target.

Best to stick with the renderings common in the past...
