[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Toshiba T1100+ time granularity

norman@husc4.HARVARD.EDU (John Norman) (01/11/88)

The clock on the Toshiba T1100+ seems to tick every second rather than
at some faster rate.  Programs which depend on the time, and check the
clock for elapsed time, do not work right.

Is there some work around?

I don't know specifically about the T1100, but that's a common problem
on a lot of ms-dos computers.  You might be able to read an internal
timer register for more precise timing.  Does the T-1100 use an 8253?
