I find that the clock on my VIC20 runs about 1.5 seconds
fast per hour. Since I use it as a dedicated controller 
for my VCR, the time drift is a real problem. 

First, I wonder if the inaccuracy is characteristic in VICS, and if 
so is it by the same amount in each.

My first reaction was to compensate for the drift in my
program. Unfortunately, the program eats up all of the 3800
bytes, and for time correction to get in something else has
to go out.

Does anyone have a simple fix for tuning the clock?
