[comp.sys.apple] TIC & //c clock & ProDOS

delton@pro-carolina.cts.COM (Don Elton) (08/04/88)

TIC reads the clock via GET_TIME about once a second during most operations as
it rewrites the status line.  Since the time doesn't change that fast perhaps
I could slow this down a bit.  The //c serial ports are used for keyboard
interrupts too oddly enough (quite a kludge) and adding a clock to it really
complicates things I'm sure.  Just to add to the fray, the company that made
AE's clock went out of business and didn't leave AE with access to the source
code or perhaps we'd be able to come up with more clues as to how the
interference might be happening.
