My thanks to you too Mike.

I really could have done with the NSC manual when I was implementing
it in AppleWin! ;-)

Actually, it contains one piece of info that the chip datasheets
didn't: whether day 1 is Monday or Sunday. This manual says Monday,
but I think that's either a difference or a mistake. I've implemented
1 = Sunday ... will have to double-check sometime.

Cheers,
Nick.
