INT 14h, 07h Return timer tick parameters
Entry: None
Exit: AL Timer tick interrupt number
AH Ticks per second on interrupt number in AL
DX Approximate number of milliseconds per tick
This is used to determine the parameters of the timer tick on any given
machine. Three numbers are returned:
AL = Timer tick interrupt number
AH = Ticks per second on interrupt number shown in AL
DX = Milliseconds per tick (approximate)
Applications can use this for critical timing (granularity of less than
one second) or to set up code (such as a watchdog) that is executed on
every timer tick. See function 16h (add/delete function from timer tick)
for the preferred way of actually installing such code.
