SOFTWARE NOTE:
The operating system kernel has already allocated the use of
several of the 8520 timers.
CIAA, timer A - keyboard (used continuously to handshake
keystrokes). NOT AVAILABLE.
CIAA, timer B - Virtual timer device (used continuously
whenever system Exec is in control; used
for task switching, interrupts and timing).
CIAA, TOD - 50/60 Hz timer used by timer.device. The
A1000 uses power line tick. The A500 uses
vertical sync. The A2000 has a jumper
selection.
CIAB, timer A - not used
CIAB, timer B - not used
CIAB, TOD - graphics.library video beam follower. This
timer counts at the horizontal sync rate,
and is used to synchronize graphics events
to the video beam.
