Hi..

  I am trying to do some mutittasking on a PS2 Model 70. I am in
the process of writting an efficient  multi user BBS, so I need
to know how to change the timer interrupt of the PC to switch
between program, using time quantumn method (round robin
scheduling.) 

  What I really need to know is can I modify the timer interrupt
vector so that every fraction of a second (I presume 1/60th) 
the OS calls the handler, which switches the running process
and returns?       

  I am currently using Turbo C. Is there anyway to do it using this
compiler?

  Feel free to be technical. I have taken the OS course :-) 

Thanks in advance,
Kwong
