Re: A85: AI (plus a question)




According to the Zilog Microprocessor Family User's Manual, Databook, and
Technical Reference, (3 seperate publications), when the /INT or /NMI lines
are strobed, the processor waits until the currently execuating instruction
is finisihed, and then processes the interupt.
