If you want reliable data acquisition, then I think you should forget about interrupts. Disable them completely and acquire data through a busy loop. Any interrupt handling will lead to jitter. Some time ago there was an interesting thread about it, initiated by Trifle Menot, on comp.os.msdos.programmer ("Interrupt latency tester").
