Counter Gates
The counter gates are tied high through a 10K resistor. In this manner the gates are
always enabled; counting is always enabled. Counters 0 and 2 may be disabled by
bringing the gates to ground at pin 27 (CTR1 Gate) and pin 30 (CTR3 Gate). Counter
1 has no external access to the gate so counter 1 is always enabled.
