Forget mine then.

Problems in the other one....
1) The math is not right in either patch. Selsinork has been checking
mine with a scope and just found another math error in mine. The
internal math needs to be done in picoseconds or round off errors mess
up the high frequency outputs (24Mhz, 12Mhz, 8Mhz, ...).
3) By-pass mode on the A20 is not implemented.
2) A10 is not correctly handled. Specifically the prescaler is
different on the A10 vs A20.
