if you don't have such a controller bit, you must do the following:

* read the fast register

If my memory of the board is correct, the Bancomm time registers can be
read in one particular order to latch the input time. This is documented
in the user manual - I can't recall what the correct order is though. I
would also suggest you try to get hold of a copy of the driver that Gemini
and/or JCMT use, it should provide all of the facilities that you might
need, links into the EPICS timestamp driver and doesn't suffer from the
rollover problem.
