Interrupt Service Procedures
When used with the 8086 family of microprocessors, AMX supports the following
exception and interrupt sources:
Divide error (DIV or IDIV instruction)
Non-Maskable interrupt (NMI hardware signal)
Overflow (INTO instruction)
Bounds error (BOUND instruction)
External devices (INTR hardware si gnal)
All other special processor exceptions such as invalid opcode (type 6) or the 80386
general protection exception (type 13) are not handled by AMX. They must be
specifically serviced by your own exception handler.
The design and implementation of the interrupt structure used in a particular application
is completely under your control. Significantly, AMX does not use any of the software
interrupts such as the Single-Step or INT n interrupts. They are left for application and
testing use.
