That could be. I think the Kick control I saw was a 74ls191 or a 74ls193
on the board. Maybe with a comparator and some other crap. Definately not
the 74ls491 that the TRON spinner used though. BUT...
I bet that if you use the upper four bits of the "raw" output at the inputs
to Kick the ratio is about right... (Of course you could use the lower 4
bits and have hyper-speed too... ;-)
I wonder if I have a working Kick boardset...
