Im looking for a timer for use inside microcode (for network protocol timeout). I know there is the timer from the arm but Ive heard that the IX bus has some kind of timer that I might be able to tap into? Does anyone know about this? Must I use the SA timer if I want to wait a certain period of time? Austen McDonald austen@cc.gatech.edu God does not care about our mathematical difficulties.
