<pre><b>INT 08 - IRQ0 - SYSTEM TIMER</b>

Desc:	generated 18.2 times per second by channel 0 of the 8254 system timer,
	  this interrupt is used to keep the time-of-day clock updated
Notes:	programs which need to be invoked regularly should use INT 1C unless
	  they need to reprogram the timer while still keeping the time-of-day
	  clock running at the proper rate
	default handler is at F000h:FEA5h in IBM PC and 100%-compatible BIOSes
	may be masked by setting bit 0 on I/O port 21h
