Gate Array

42 bytes added, 7 July
/* CSYNC signal */
The Gate Array (and ASIC/Pre-ASIC) uses 2 internal counters to create its CSYNC signal:
* H06 counts the number of CRTC characters processed during an HSYNC. H06 is incremented by the Gate Array for each CRTC character when CRTC HSYNC is active. The Gate Array activates the C-HSYNC signal when H06 reaches 2, and changes its graphics mode if a change was pending. It deactivates this signal when H06 reaches 6.
* V26 counts the number of HSYNCs occuring during a VSYNC. V26 is incremented by the Gate Array when the CRTC signals an end of HSYNC. The Gate Array activates the C-VSYNC signal when V26 reaches 2(and if VSYNC is active on ASIC/Pre-ASIC). It deactivates this signal when V26 reaches 6. After the 26th line has been processed, the Gate Array stops outputting the palette colour black.
The HSYNC signal from the CRTC is 0 when inactive and 1 when active. Same for VSYNC.
