You're mostly right but they had 3.58 MHz

crystals were cheaper than 4.77 Mhz crystals.
I know but I hate to admit that I owned and used a pc-type machine that slow. I
think the TRS-80 IV was faster than that but I may be running a close one here
too. Not only were colorburst crystals cheaper, but since Sanyo makes billions
of TV's I imaine they had a fair surplus to send over to the computer assembly
plant.--
