DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSWS2 Manual V2.31 IRQ[ 3 - 7, 9 - 12, 14, 15], input These signals are used to tell the microprocessor that an I/O device needs attention. An interrupt request is generated when an IRQ line is raised from low to high. The line must be held high until the micro- processor acknowledges the interrupt request .

DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSWS2 Manual V2.31 SD[O..15], input/output These signals provide bus bits 0 through 15 for the microprocessor, memory, and I/0 devices. DO is the least-significant bit and D15 is the most significant bit. All 8-bit devices on the I/O channel should use DO through D7 for communications to the microprocessor.

DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSWS2 Manual V2.31 Controllers 4.4.1 Interrupt Controllers An 8259A compatible interrupt controller, within the CS4021 device, provides seven prioritized interrupt levels. Of these, several are normally associated with the board's onboard device interfaces and con- trollers, and several are available on the AT expansion bus.
800 ms. If no strobe occures within the 800 ms, the watchdog resets the system. To program the watchdog in user application DIGITAL-LOGIC AG has implemented a special BIOS ex- tension in Interrupt 60h (function: EBh).
DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MSWS2 Manual V2.31 BIOS 4.6.1 ROM-BIOS Sockets An EPROM socket with 8 Bit wide data access normally contains the board's AT compatible ROM-BIOS. The socket takes any of a 27C010 to 27C040 EPROM (or equivalent) device. The board's wait-state control logic automatically inserts four memory wait states in all CPU accesses to this socket.
On the next Setup pages (switched with PgDn and PgUp) the values for special parameters are modifi- able. Normally the parameters are set correctly by DIGITAL-LOGIC AG Be very careful in modifying any parameter since the system could crash. Some parameters are dependent on the CPU type. The cache parameter is always available, for example.
