Ok, it doesn't work int the Apple ][ because of timming, but could it work connected to an Atari 2600?

Even worse; the 2600 CPU must run at exactly 1/3 the pixel clock.

A 2600 is impossible. Everything must run at the colorburst derived clock.

One could put this in an apple 2 with the clock divided down.

The Apple video hardware runs independent of the CPU.

Would be super slow, but functional.

At 60khz, the monitor would be responsive on the order of seconds.
