> However problem with uclock resolution not solved.

Ah, yes, I believe it's delay() that was fixed, not uclock.

The problem with uclock is the bios tic rollover isn't aligned with the
PIT counter under Win2K.  It happens at roughly the same point in the
cycle - but not exactly - each time.

Someplace I have code that works "better" - but still not perfect.
I haven't decided if "better" is worth putting in since it's still
broken - just less noticable (which might be worse...)
