[comp.os.msdos.programmer] timer-help needed

efa@iesd.auc.dk (Erik F. Andersen) (11/03/90)

  I'm currently writing a program, for which I need some very accurately timed sound routines. I am thinking of speeding up the oscillator, by programming    port 0 of the timer chip, and then write a new INT08 interrupt handler, that   say only calls the original INT08 every fourth time (just like some Basic      versions does).
  However I have never tampered with port 0 of the timer chip, so I was        wondering if   anyone out there could help me out with my problem.
THANKS!!
