The Dave Mills paper in SIGCOMM 94 describes the 5k/240 as having a
high-resolution 25 MHz clock as part of the TurboChannel
interface on one of the ASICs. It seems a reasonable guess that
this is the same as the ``free-running counter'' on the XINE;
except it should run at 25 MHz, not 12.5.
Has anyone redone the NetBSD system clock code to use this time source
for the system clock?
