SID chips and ARM chips

[c0re_dump]

Yesterday, I received a small parcel containing two SID chips (6581) rescued from doomed Commodore 64s. My plan is to wire one of them up to the Arduino, which I'm currently doing. I'll need a 1MHz Phase2 clock, which means dividing down a 16MHz oscillator module with a 74HC393. Wish the Arduino had a 16MHz clock output pin! Once I have a clock,

Probably a bit late now... but if you have a free timer and one of the two associated pins is also free, you can (in theory) use the ATmega168 timer hardware to divide the Arduino's clock. Unfortunately, I think you can only divide by multiples of two, so there's no way of outputting a 16Mhz clock.
