- I am currently using Alsys Ada v4.4.2, and need to write an interrupt
- handler for the PC. I am new to this area of programming (I have
- been using Ada for about two months and have never programmed
- interrupts or in Assembly Language). The section (13.5.1) of
- the LRM doesn't really clarify much, and the chapter Handling
- Hardware Interrupts in "Application Developer's Guide" isn't
- much clearer to me. I would really appreciate any pointers
- on where to start looking (for books, etc. to help me learn), or
- any tips on how to go about this. The handler shouldn't be
- system specific (should use only standard Ada).
-
- Thanks.
