I am allocating TimerB or TimerA(if B is unavailable) of CIAB and would like to know the correct way to find out if the clock is .709379Mhz PAL or .715909Mhz NTSC Thanks in advance, -- Chris Hames - C/Assembler programmer | Fish: DirWork,FSDirs,VMK..| /~\/ \ 3:633/353 (Fido) | Commercial: Soon... | ( OZ ) mail bytey@phoenix.pub.uu.oz.au +---------------------------+ `--'\_/ mail uunet.uu.net!munnari!labtam!eyrie!phoenix!bytey (Use both and hope!)

When running under 1.3 and previous, determine the configuration (PAL/NTSC) of the machine by looking in GfxBase->foo (I don't remember, look it up). NOTE: Some Amigas (A3000s and the like) have a jumper to indicate to graphics the PAL/NTSC state of the machine; this jumper does NOT affect the EClock frequency, only what we ASSUME it is. rsbx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Raymond S.
