Re: Timer0 stubbornly not working

About the IFI whitepaper. I looked it over already, and they very specifically aren't enabling the 16-bit read/write mode. Which is just fine for using it as a timer like they do, but is problematic when using it as a counter.
Perhaps I'm confusing the PICs and Atmel chips again, anyway though try it, because you're writing the Timer1 bytes in that order it appears and it seems to be working for you.
