Man, that brings back the memories. I remember doing those kinds of stunts when coding for the good ole Motorola 6502. Back in those days, Apple actually published the full listing of their ROM code along with the instruction specs, including the number of cycles per instruction, etc.. There were many a fun night plotting out the optimal instruction sequences and spacing out instructions just right so the exact timing is achieved. Lots of fun.
