Ive not seen anything else about making the timer overflow at less than 256.
TMR0 is a register... Is this TMR0 a read-only register? Is it a write-only register? Is it a read/write register?
If you can write to this TMR0 register as it's called, when can you write to it?
Can you write to it while it's running? Or do you have to write to it while it's stopped?
(I'm not dogging you at all...there's water around here somewhere...You just happen to be the horse )
And no, for this particular item, there's not a lot of DIRECT information in the datasheets, but there is quite a bit of 'read-between-the-lines' stuff that applies to all registers and applies here...
