Thank you :-)

Well, my apps should work on "slightly" slower PC's also :-|

Have not yet seen a DOS app successfully using the PIT under NT/XP at all ... no timing beyond emulated "BIOS" 18.2 Hz clock :-(

Is this true under HDPMI32 ? Does HDPMI32 poll the PIT to distinguish them ?

:-)

And what should I write to the 8 bytes of the IDT entry 8 ? Can I pick them from there (same/different entry ?), hack the address, maybe change some of the Ring stuff (???) to get the most straightforward "asynchronous" subroutine call ?
