Can someone explain know the interrupt scheme on the E1 works?
I assume the e00000-e0003e register space on the cpu is for interrupt
testing only, i.e. nubus cards don't write to this space, only the
diags do.
Do the NUPI and SIB assert a nubus hardware interrupt? Does the cpu
hardware see than and place it in it's list of pending interrupts?
I see that the cpu manages pending interrupts on a priority basis from
15-0 with 0 being the highest. I don't quite get how the microcode
resets the pending interrupts or how the are asserted in the normal
case.
