The INT 08h interrupt is used for the timer interrupt. The INT 09h interrupt is used for the keyboard interrupt. The INT 10h interrupt is used for the serial port interrupt. The INT 11h interrupt is used for the parallel port interrupt.<\/p>\n<p>The interrupts are handled by the CPU&#8217;s interrupt controller. The interrupt controller is a hardware device that is responsible for receiving and dispatching interrupts. When an interrupt occurs, the interrupt controller saves the current state of the CPU and then transfers control to the interrupt service routine (ISR). The ISR is a software routine that is responsible for handling the interrupt. After the ISR has finished executing, the interrupt controller restores the CPU&#8217;s state and returns control to the interrupted program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe on YouTube<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[216],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How may standard levels of interrupts are provided on the 8-bit ISA bus (XT-class computer)?
