4.03.2 INTERRUPT CONTROLLERS
Two 8259 interrupt controllers handle the interrupts on the VIPer807. Six interrupt lines
are directly linked to the keyboard controller, timer, the real-time clock, both serial ports
and the parallel port. Note that with Plug and Play, interrupt lines for I/O devices and the
SCSI interface can be modified via software per system requirements.
