those macros are helpful IMHO, because futher value size changes does not

PRML is not an encoding scheme like MFM or RLL, it is an algorithm for

Travis Campbell and I are looking at apcupsd to get it working with
the APC RS/XS series of USB capable UPSs. We're concentrating on

Some work has been done in this area by Riccardo Torrini. See

How does one get into 'realmode' inside a kernel driver?
The reason for the need is a tight timeing loop that measures the lenght of

Target cpu's are AMD K5 + AMD XP.
Asfair when reading cycles per opcode. The number of
