Line 124:
This mode creates a high output signal that drops low for one input signal cycle (0.8381 uS), which is too fast to make a difference to the PC speaker (see mode 3). For this reason mode 2 is useless for producing sounds with PIT channel 2.
Typically, OSes and BIOSes use mode 3 (see below) for PIT channel 0 to generate IRQ 0 timer ticks, but some use mode 2 instead, to gain frequency accuracy (frequency = 1193182 / reload_value Hz)
