Ok, before another bunch of people mail me saying how I got the clock speeds
wrong, here are the correct timings:-


    USA  NTSC        1.79MHz

    UK   PAL UK      2.217MHz


Which is not so bad, as that means the UK Ataris are faster than I put.
That is about a 25% increase on the American models.  I didn't write all
this to degrade the USA machines, but to degrade the ST, which for all it's
pretty graphics, can only just scroll the screen.
