- Howdy people,
-
- I've got some questions for you hardware-literate clone masters:
-
- Does the daisy-chained dual interrupt controller architecture left over from
- AT days still prevail in 486 machines?
-
- Are the basic hardware interrupt designations (mem-refresh, disk, keyboard etc..)
- still the same by convention?
-
- Are there different schemes depending on the chip set/motherboard manufacturer?
-
- Please E-mail if possible
-

- Thanks ahead of time,
