John, I agree with you. I don't say much on the list, I just enjoy reading.
I see too many people that get ruffled at almost nothing. I am a 76 year
old EE and still run my on design and build co. This is a great hobby and
I guess at my age I have learned to let most of the comments slide.
If they bother you now in about an hour you will forget it. Believe me in 76 years
I have found this by far the best.

Well, to be fair to Arthur, we can quibble with the presentation, but he's right. (I've always assumed he's using a handicap-accessible input device of some kind.) You asked how to run an 8640 from a 10-MHz house clock. He told you how you could do it. And yes, in a Utopian world one would be able to answer this question at the General-class level. No need to attack someone who's just trying to help, is there?
That said, I don't bother to run my own 8640 from an external clock at all, since its internal standard is already a good match for the precision of its counter display and locking mechanism.
