I am having some problems trying to access the CIA timer register.  Instead
of trying to tell what I am doing and identify the problem, let me just say
that all I need is some number that increments continually (like the CIA
timer does).  Can someone tell me how to pull these values and where I
should get them?  (Okay, I will tell you that I cannot get it to work
on both my Amiga 3000 and my 1000.)  So can I go directly to the hardware,
or should I open up a device?

Also, I am having a problem with the keyboard device.  I am attempting
to perform a KBD_READMATRIX.  It works great on my Amiga 3000, but it
doesn't work at all on my friend's amiga 3000!  Any ideas?  I am basically
using a modified routine from the RKM Libs/devs.    

Please send responses via mail only.

Thanks a lot! - Aaron Hightower - aaron@stat.tamu.edu
