Be on the lookout for an update to the original TMRDRV.TXT article called
TMRDR2.TXT.  A synopsis:

With help from some fellow OS9ers on Delphi, I've been narrowing down the
different methods that could be used in our Timer Driver.  Keep in mind the
need for much MUCH higher accuracy and resolution than the ol' VIRQ way, and we
also need absolutely the quickest way possible to action the user program into
gear when the timer does pop.

I also need to SET STANDARDS on the SVC Number(s), GetStat/SetStat numbers, and
the parameter structures.  We gotta have these things acceptable and "official"
with the community so people can write programs to use the 12-bit timer and to
have it behave in expected ways, not to mention a common access method.

We apparently no longer have a User Group -- we won't have an "official" body
who'd normally analyze and approve of an access method used by these kinds of
functions and projects.  You and I are the only ones that can tandemly agree
how to design and use these kinds of interfaces.

So I need your support .. and I need it NOW, please?

-- Thx, Paul Seniura.
