Stopwatch timer up to tenths of second using 68k assembly assignment help

The assignment deals with simulating a stopwatch timer using 68k assembly. The program written by our 68k assembly assignment help doer allows the user to start and stop the stopwatch by pressing the keys. The stopwatch current time is displayed on the screen using the mm:ss:s format. The current time is read from the system using a trap.
