Well 'sundog',

A commodore64 would actually be sufficient! So I would say to all, go to
your addict or cellar and get that veeeeery old computer (and the manual)
and program that super-calculator to let your TC do the rhytm you like. I
know I will when I have 'Catweazle 1' up and running (after measuring the RF
field strength at the other side of my Faraday cage)!

Snip....
