I imagine it's both, and implementation dependent if an interrupt
occurs when the PIT timer expires, but it's been a long time. I
imagine the datasheet for at 8254 timer would be a good place to start.

timer interrupts. As we determined before, the 8254 is the same as the
PIT used in Alpha Tsunami, so I'm going to move the Alpha code to a
neutral locat

Oh, and one thing I forgot, registers can be like faults where they're
little islands of the ISA. They know how to translate indexes, and they

could be inherited from (or inherit, with some modifications) to be able
