Re: Unexpected IRQ behaviour on a VIC-20

Hi Ruud,

The obvious solution would be to communicate via shared memory. For 
example, set up a circular buffer for the latest interrupt events, and a 
"cursor" variable to point to the latest event. Or just increment a 
counter. The main program could poll the counter to determine if an 
interrupt occurred.

My understanding is that the Atari 8-bit computers use a concept of 
"shadow registers" in RAM to allow cleaner access to the chips from 
BASIC. I do not know if this covers other chips than the video chip(s).
