ARAnyM VIDEL emulation ignores refresh rate programmed in VIDEL HW
registers.

You don't need any natfeat parport driver - ARAnyM emulates the Atari
parallel port hardware correctly (tested with PARCP). If linux-m68k can
write to Atari parallel port then it will work in ARAnyM and you can
choose where (on the host) to direct the output to - whether host's
parallel port directly or a plain file.
