It now seems to be working on Win95.  Miracles never cease.  Sometimes
the timer reprogram takes, sometimes it doesn't?

It seems that the time between tics on Win2K isn't very even; I'm
seeing anything from 280 msb per tic and 252 msb per tic.  When I let it
run for a long time it seems to settle down to an average of around
256 msb per tic.  The first calibration tic always has much more than
256.  Maybe it reacts to the calibration and tries to bring an emulated 
timer in line?

In any case, it would seem difficult to fix.
