You should check out the Allegro library, which has source
code to handle the timer at the hardware level.  Also, it has
some nice interfaces to make dealing with the timer-based
callbacks in C very easy.

I can't remember where I got it from, but I've got a copy of the
Allegro library on my ftp site at:
