I am building an astronomical CCD camera where there are a number of clocks that will be generated from a 8255 PIA on a PC proto-board, and reads an ADC via the same PIA. THe clocks will be in the range 100KHz to 1Mhz. The PC will probably be a 486DX2. I'd like some advice on whether to implement the clock control and data reading using a RT-Linux task, or whether to write a special device driver. I don't think it would be a problem for the pc to 'hang' while doing a data aquisition read to ensure the accuracy of the clocks, but i need to ensure that the 'read' is not interupted. Any info or advice would be appreciated.
