Half of one of the Amiga's two 8520's is available for
programmers to use. I was looking into this the other day
and noticed that I should be able to use this as a built in 
random event counter for data acquisition. I could hook in through
the parallel port.  The only question is, how fast can it count
pulses?  I know it should be able to handle 1 megahz, but can it take
more?  Inquiring minds want to know!
