TI-H: faster intterupt...




Has anyone ever thought of trying to speed up the ~200hz interrupt on 
the ti-86.  Or any calc for that matter.  With a faster intturpt, 
grayscale would look much better, plus maybe we could go to a full 4-bit 
grayscale.

A bad way to get 4-bit grayscale would be to put a clock on the serial 
port and run a program that poles this port and switches video on the 
rise of this clock.  a fast maybe ~400hz or faster clock could be easily 
made fast enough to do this.  But the bad thing is that it requires 
outside electronics, and the program can nothing else except pole the 
serial port to keep the 4-level grayscale working...

Later,

oh and does anyone know what the source of this ~200hz interrupt is 
anyway???
