Calculate 1MHz



    Please let me know if you think that my formula is very accurate.  It
appears to be the most correct Hz for Apple II+, //c, and //e, but Apple
IIgs has 2.8MHz that may be very close to my numbers below, but it is not
really exact.

14,318,180 Hz
1,022,727.143 Hz    = 14,318,180 Hz / 14 Periods
894,886.25 Hz         = 14,318,180 Hz / 16 Periods
1,020,484.320 Hz    = 14,318,180 Hz / (((64 Cycle * 14 Periods) + (1 Cycle *
16 Periods)) / 65 Cycle)

(((64 Cycle * 14 Periods) + (1 Cycle * 16 Periods)) / 65 Cycle) =
14.030769230 Periods
1,020,484.320 Hz   = 14,318,180 Hz / 14.030769230 Periods

    I suspect that Europeans use 50Hz instead of 60Hz for video so they use
14.25MHz.  It is little slower than standard 14.3Mhz.  How can't 6502 MPU be
affected?  What about Disk II that the speed may not be the same?
Curious...
