I'm wondering if anyone out there can help me...

I'm looking for a code fragment that sets up timer interrupts
approximately every 125 usec on a vanilla PC.  From what I understand,
this is possible by resetting the timer chip that causes INT 08, but
unfortunately I don't know just how to do this.  (I.e., is this
register memory mapped or does it take some obscure I/O operation?)

Thanks for any pointers,

Steve Cole,   scole@janus.berkeley.edu
