Where to file fixed-timing IRQ-sources

I don't think it makes sense to say that "if it's clocked by M2, regardless of how general it is, it belongs in Category:Mappers with cycle IRQs". 1- With such a constraint, the only thing that could possibly make sense in the overarching category would be things that used analog effects for timing ... or the way IRQs are used on "real" computers, where they signal asynchronous events. 2- Because these are not general, it can't be used for arbitrary timing. At best, they're far more crippled than Tepples's demonstration of using the DPCM for mid-screen splits. —Lidnariq (talk) 13:10, 18 May 2015 (MDT)
