The best way to keep HW1 and HW2 calcs the same speed is to use the
interrupts to control a synch counter, although I've forgotten the rates
that auto-int 1 and 5 run at on HW1 and HW2 calcs - I think that Johan might
have the numbers, IIRC, if he or someone else could post them.
For those who haven't heard this before, please do not send files to
majordomo-based mailing lists - it severely screws up the digest version,
which I believe is received by a significant number of people here on A89.
I myself do so, so I did not receive the file that was attached - just the
ASCII equivalent of the binary file (gibberish). Send it to me personally
off the list and I'll try to run it for you this week.
