Where is the built in timer located in AT's?  I mean the timer that is
built into the 186/286 chip.  The default location is at 0xFF00 in the
i/o space, BUT, the location can be changed.  Also, does anyone know if the
timer is actually built into the 286?   I only have a 186 manual.

Thanks,

Bill Wallace
