	Does any one know if there is a hardware interrrupt that will
interrrupt more often than the clock tick interrupt (08h, about 18/sec)?
The ideal I am looking for is an interrupt about once every 10 ms.

	Also, does anybody know anything about the real-time clock interrupt
(70h)? What machines support it, what does it do, etc...


	Thanks
	Jeremy
