You can always crank up the clock rate in a custom application and generate the 18.2 Hz system timer interrupt yourself, though. There's nothing inherent about DOS that prevents you from doing precision timekeeping with it.
That's not to say it's fun. -- john, KE5FX > In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Tom Van > Baak" writes: > > >PHK - do you have any anecdotes on how well NTP > >works under primitive OS's like DOS? > > "not at all" > > DOS timekeeping is restricted to the 18.2Hz i8254 counter and that > is far to crude for the NTP algorithms. > > A few SNTP tools work and their precision is obviously 18.2Hz... > > _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
