Since then I realized that there is a "speaker click" sound on the 2600, that could use the same algorithm (or similar) as that in the Apple ROM. Never did anything about it, but if I were inclined to, that's where I'd start.

Hey gang... I just realized something that might make things easier for
people trying to develope a C-64 development tool for the 2600....
Why not use the C-64's datasette instead of the SID chip? There must be
some way to control the data sent to the cassette port in such a way that
it will make acceptable supercharger tapes.
