Great to hear that it works!

No apologies needed. :-)

For MiSTer there *is* a very accurate FPGA ST core
available, which may be more accurate than Hatari,
but I don't think it's been ported yet to MiST.

I wondered if there might be some interesting hardware-specfic magic going on. But I severely lack the skills to diagnose this sort of thing myself :(
