I thought that one of the TOD clocks was hooked up to the 50 or 60Hz line
frequency and was used as the system clock, and that the other one was set
up to be used for the MICROHZ timer. I'm pretty sure I'm right about the
system clock, since it runs just fine if interrupts are disabled. If I'm 
wrong, where is the system clock handled?
