Yes indeed, depending upon the documentation it is referred to as either the 
60Hz or the 60.15Hz
timer. Certainly that's enough information for anyone familiar with Mac 
internals to understand
exactly what you are referring to. There are also plenty of examples of this 
elsewhere e.g. for
graphics cards the high level claim will be that it supports over 16 million 
colours whereas the
engineers know specifically that the exact number is 16777216.

I'll write up a suitable comment with a #define and send through a v2, perhaps 
altering the comment
on the timer itself to read 60.15Hz as that's what the reference cited by 
Laurent also uses.

If you want more details, this is also in "Apple Guide to the Macintosh Family 
Hardware", 2nd
edition, Chapter 12, "Displays", p. 401 (p.440 of the following PDF):

Ah yes, that's a better reference as I don't see online versions of "Macintosh Family Hardware Reference" anywhere. I'll post the v2 shortly.


ATB,

Mark.
