If you find it, let me know. I am drawing one up, but's it's slow going
trying to put in all the relevant states.

I have a ATMEGA32 and I think an 8MHz crystal, but I'm tapped out on
breadboards at present. I will try to free one up.

Well, since I had luck with the other IRQs thus far, I'm going to add
the timer for the EOI handshake delay (255 uS).

I admire the idea of discarding the IRQ return and then returing to the
calling function (I assume you return to the function that called
sendsdelay). But, my entire IRQ is IRQ driven, so I merely keep track
of the protocol progress by changing a state flag in memory, so I don't
have anything to return to (my main loop is doing other things, like
handling the IP stack...
My complexity comment stems from needing to monitor for 2 things during
that timeframe. Either the timer will pop (EOI), OR the CLK will go low
(no EOI). So, if the CLK drops, I need to stop the timer, but it's
possible that the CLK IRQ happens, but before I can stop the timer IRQ,
it times out and sets a pending IRQ. So, what I really need to do is
sto the timer in CLK LO, but if it pops anyway, check the state in the
timer IRQ. If it is not EOI_HANDSHAKE, don't set the EOI flag...
Not impossible to code for, just a bit more work.... We'll see if I can
work it up tonight.
