Even the video interrupt would work fine - that was what I was  
actually originally thinking of, mainly because it needed to set up a  
video interrupt anyway to tie the sprite animation to the VBR to avoid  
flicker, but I might as well admit I'd also completely forgotten about  
the CIA timer interrupts. Probably because all I ever used myself was  
the video interrupt since my coding on the C64 was mostly demo type  
stuff full of syncing to specific raster lines, as most C64 demos..
