In writing my music players I have until now relied upon the
vertical blanking interrupt. But now I would like to connect
my player function to a CIA-timer for more flexability. All
attempts to do this have failed so far.

I would like to have functions like this:

BOOL SetCIAtimer(fpointer);   /* fpointer is 'pointer to function'-type */
void SetCIAspeed(int);        /* set speed for timerfunction */
void FreeCIATimer(void);      /* remove TIMER function */

How can I do this in a "system legal", "upward compatible" way?
Any help (especially C source) would be appreciated.

Thanks,        Niek
