I wish I could say that staring at these schematics for hours on end has
made me the sort of minor diety that could answer this question instantly.
I assume you're refering to this post from back in 1997?

I have to honestly say I don't know what's going on here. I just
completed a testable version of my tia.vhd for the fpga2600 project last
night, and will begin designing hardware for testing "soon".
I think my version gets the various NUSIZ tricks right. These just sort
of fall out naturally. But I'm at a bit of a loss for the HMOVE tricks.
I've tried walking through this logic a few times before, but I get lost
in the intricacies of exactly what happens when HMOVE gets hit before
the required setup time has occurred.
(Hrm, just found a bug in my HMOVE handling. Off to fix it...)
