Eckhard,

According to my databook (Rockwell, 1985) it is correct.

Before the timer has expired, INTIM holds the current value of the timer.
After the timer expires, INTIM decrements once per clock cycle, regardless
of if you're using TIM1T, TIM8T, TIM64T, or TIM1024T.  This auto decrement
allows you to know how many clock cycles have passed since the timer expired.
That is what is meant my "overflow register".  This is in fact the way the
VCS works.

Can you post the relevant section of my map, just so I'm sure of what you're
referring to?
