This register generates a VMEbus Interrupt Acknowledge (IACK) cycle for interrupt
level 7 when read from the MXIbus and returns the Status ID received from the
interrupter. It can generate 16-bit or 8-bit IACK cycles. Generating an 8-bit IACK cycle
requires reading offset 3F (hex). When read from the VMEbus, this register does not
generate an IACK cycle and returns FFFF (hex).
