Hello,

I am wondering if anyone can suggest a solution to the following problem:

I am using the Alsys compiler for DOS on a PC and would like to get a timer
resolution of at least 1 kHz, instead of the default 18.2 Hz provided by the
BIOS.  Tinkering with the PC's internal 8253 timer chip didn't work as the
Alsys runtime kernel already uses the interrupt (IRQ 8) from this chip.

Has anybody come across a similar problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Dave Rai
