+# Cricket Clock Driver
+
+I acquired a Cricket sound/clock peripheral on eBay. Therefore it is now critical that we have a conforming ProDOS clock driver for it.
+
+## Background
+
+"The Cricket" by Street Electronics Corporation, released in 1984, is a hardware peripheral for the Apple //c computer. It plugs into the serial port and offers a multi-voice sound synthesizer, a speech synthesizer, and a real-time clock.
+
+The included disks include:
+* `/CRICKET/PRODOS.MOD` which can be BRUN to patch ProDOS in memory with a clock driver.
+* A modified version of ProDOS
+* A utility to patch ProDOS on disk
+
+## Goal
+
+Like the `NS.CLOCK.SYSTEM` (author?) ideally we would have:
+
+* A ProDOS `.SYSTEM` file
+* Which detects the presence of a Cricket
+* And if found, installs the driver in memory following the ProDOS clock driver protocol
+* And finally chains to the next `.SYSTEM` file (e.g. `BASIC.SYSTEM`)
