   Yes.

   Not in this universe. These APIs don't know nothing about TIMER0.   
   AFAIK, they read directly from the hardware. And since TIMER0 re-   
   programms exactly this hardware, bogus results are returned when   
   TIMER0 has active clients.

   Nope. First of all ISTR that there were a few compatibility issues    
   with this version. Second: The modified CLOCK01.SYS is based on an   
   outdated IBM version, which most likely doesn't support CLOCKSCALE=x   
   and is not guarantueed to work properly with later kernels.   
      
   BTW, I think ACPI offers an additional timer that could be used    
   for this purpose. At least Windows seems to go this route in it's   
   implemenation of the DosTmrXXX equivalents.
