Re: Any way to use the 89 as a timer, and what's I/O speed if ti's (89),



Use a loop, doing a calculation that takes one second to do, on the 86 it is
close to 99999999^99 and then 99^99.  Using this I have made some pretty
accurate timers, though it might not be what you're looking for, this could be
done in basic like this (on an 86)

:0->T
:Lbl A
:ClLCD
:Disp "Elapsed Time", T
:T+1->T
:999999999^99
:99^99
:Goto A
