 		 #98171 - Still a bit confused
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I'm still a little confused about this. Let's simplify more and assume I am using the 8 bit auto-reload timer and starting the timer at 0 each time. When the timer overlows the ISR code executes. If the ISR code is so big that it takes longer than 256 machine cycles to complete there is a possibility that the overflow may occur again before the ISR code completes. I imagine this could cause a mess in the code.

Is this correct?
