But using the 8259 for this purpose? In 1988 I had ny reasons NOT to use it. I will study the datasheets again to see why. > However, I dont believe I'd hook NMI up. Why not? It certainly won't harm. And don't fall in the same trap the designers of the CP/M-cart for the C64 did: they didn't "need" NMI and IRQ either. Later they regretted that very much.
