- Some of these games (like Klondike III AGA) use some old MOD-player
- code (med.library for example), that doesn't know anything about
- how to properly allocate a hardware timer (using ciaa[b].resource).
- Instead, they'll just expect a CIA-timer to be free and use it.
-
- Executive is set to use the CIA-A or CIA-B timer by default.
- I suggest you set Executive to use timer.device, you can change
- this from ExecutivePrefs. I'll probably make this default in
- V2.00, although it will cause problems on slower machines,
- because timer.device has higher interrupt level than the
- serial port, and a timer interrupt may occasionally cause a
- character to be lost.
