I cannot find anything about that in the data sheet. Yes, the timer control
registers are set to zero on reset, which means that both timers are halted -
but there is no start/stop bit for the TOD clock.

Has anybody tried the test program with another VICE version? I'm still
wondering if it's a cc65 related problem or not. A more current version of
vice is unavailable for Centos, so I would need to create one myself. After
installing 54 development packages, an opencbm rpm was not found, so I would
have to create this one beforehand, and that was the point where I stopped :-)
