Hello there,

1)
	Does anybody know if there is a way ( should I say official ? )
	to read the system time of the 520STE that will give a result
	more precise than 2 seconds intervals.

	The Bios or Xbios call GetTime() only returns hours,minutes, and
	seconds divided by 2 ( ie from 0 to 30 ).

	I need something much more precise than that. Any idea?

2)
	What Xbtimer() xbios call is supposed to do ?


Thanks,

alex.
