Interrupt Selection
The AT-MIO-16 board can connect to any one of the 11 interrupt lines of the PC AT I/O
channel. You select the interrupt line with a jumper on one of the double rows of pins located
above the I/O slot edge connector on the AT-MIO-16 (refer to Figure 2-1). To use the
AT-MIO-16 interrupt capability, you must select an interrupt line and place the jumper in the
appropriate position to enable that particular interrupt line, as shown in Table 2-4.

The AT-MIO-16 can share interrupt lines with other devices by using a tristate driver to drive its
selected interrupt line. The AT-MIO-16 interrupt lines are IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ6, IRQ7,
IRQ9, IRQ10, IRQ11, IRQ12, IRQ14, and IRQ15.

use interrupt line 6 or interrupt line 14. The diskette drive controller uses
interrupt line 6. The hard disk controller on most IBM PC ATs and compatible
computers uses interrupt line 14.
