I am using the 8520 chips to do some timing, and I am having one major problem.
Nowhere can I find out what the period of time is that I am counting.  I am
using the "count 02 pulses" mode, whatever that means.  That is the phrase
used in the 1.1 Hardware Reference Manual.  Could some one please tell me how
many microseconds one of these timer ticks is?  Thanks.
