  PCs and PS/2s have several clocks and timers that run at different rates
  and perform different functions. Some of them are intrinsic to the circuit
  design of these computers; their operation is independent of software
  control. Others are designed to support timing functions in software; the
  operation of these timers can be controlled by software through ROM BIOS
  services or by direct hardware programming.
