Bruce, Absolutely. It could certainly have been fixed, but it was just never enough of a concern for "normal" applications.
This design methodolgy also caused insurmountable problems when Motorola tried to introduce a chipset based upon the Oncore firmware that could be customized by the customer to run other applications. Having to slap the screaming child and service the 1KHz interrupts made it very difficult to write any sort of real time applications for the chipset. Too bad nobody thought of that before they started making and selling SDK's. I have one here I use as a paperweight.
