I'd planned on a simple interface to the PC via using the parallel,
suitably strapped, as a basic output port. Now, I could use it as an
input but I'd probably have to poll the port which would be somewhat
inefficient but an option I guess. Think I could just record the
staring time of the sampling and then the ending time plus the number
of cycles.

Cheers,
Steve
