[net.micro.cpm] Clock suggestions needed

dennis%berkeley@ucsfmis.UUCP (08/02/83)

I need to find a suitable clock for addition to a CP/M-S100 system (either
a board or a serially-interfaced device)
which is suitable for timing a psychological experiment.

I'd prefer it to have these features

1. A timer which can be read in .01 sec's

2. A clock / calendar for obvious uses and interface to CP/M+ later

3. The ability to generate interrupts OR simply read the clock


With that sketchy outline, does any product suggest itself?

Thanks

This may be overkill, but the CompuPro System Support I card fits your
needs and then some.  Here is what it has:

                8253 Interval timer (three section 2 MHz cascadable)
                MSM5832 Calendar clock with battery backup
                2 8259A Interrupt controllers
                1 2651 USART for serial I/O
                Sockets for 4K of RAM or EPROM (6116/2716)
                A socket for a 9511A or 9512 LSI math processor

The card can be purchased for $350 from  discount houses such as
Cal. Digital., perhaps cheaper if you look around.
