The 6526 CIA datasheet says, "In continuous mode, the timer will count 
from the latched value to zero, generate and interrupt, reload the latched 
value and repeat the procedure continuously."

This suggests that either 0 or N (the latched value) would result from a 
read from the counter immediately following an interrupt. Who can say 
which? Just have to try it. The answer should allow us to avoid the risk 
of a clocksource that jumps forwards and backwards.
