Re: xenix install problems

I found the problem.
Xenix uses T1 and T2 timers to generate interrupts. If T1 elapse and T2 elapse when T1 interrupt is served, the interrupt vector does not clear the T2 bit in the IFR register. Interrupts are broken after that event.
The VIA emulation is ok, so the problem is probably in the 68k core that should relaunch the IRQ since the line remains set.
