    2.2 Setting the Interrupt Level (IRQ) The QS-100D allows the use of any interrupt level in the range IRQ2 to IRQ7, IRQ10 to IRQ12, IRQ14, or IRQ15, selected using jumper pack J6. (Early versions of the QS-100D are limited to IRQ2-7.) In Figure 6 , the factory default setting of IRQ3 is shown. To select a different IRQ, move the jumper to the approp ...

    The QS-100D signals a hardware interrupt when any port requires service. The interrupt signal is maintained until no port requires service. Because the ISA bus is edge-sensitive, this behavior forces the interrupt service routine to ensure that all ports are checked before exiting. A way to do this is to poll each port until an interrupting port is ...
