Interrupt Controllers
Using interrupts, it is possible to change the code sequence. To change the sequence, reas-
sign the interrupt-levels. Fifteen interrupts can be used with a cascade connection of
8259INTC x 2.
Interrupt-level assignments 0 through 15 are listed in Table Section 1-6, in order of de-
creasing priority.
