Hi Spiro, >I did measurements and saw that I had a resolution of about 4 µs, that is, >my maximum frequency was about 250 kHz. That's because taking the time- >stamp >So, possibly, with a faster CPU, you could achieve 1 MHz. Anyway, I'm not The speed limitation in this case seems to be reading from the I/O area on a PC. This is because the bus slows down (for ISA at least). The best I've ever come across is approx 1MHz read rate from the I/O area on a PIII-600 using 8bit accesses. I expect the limiting case is not much faster than this. - nick PLEASE TAKE NOTE: The contents of this email (including any attachments) may be privileged and confidential.
