Sunil,

The good old days of "Doing it all yourself". I used to use 
interrupts in C a long long time ago. Being an old game programmer we 
had to take complete control of hardware interrupts to make the PC, 
one speaker sound system, give out the desired sound effects.

I would amagine anyone developing at the hardware level would also 
have to master interrupts to interface with a computer or external 
device.

Using an operating system such as Windows XP does not allow direct 
manipulation of a PC hardware system easily. As I mentioned in the 
last message, the only way I know how is through the 'DDK' available 
through download at msdn.microsoft.com. There may be other ways I 
have no knowledge of. Others can fill in the blanks here on them.

But, that should not stop you from working with a PC and interrupts. 
An old version of "Turbo C" and booting from DOS would put you in the 
environment needed to program. One solution that comes to mind would 
build a DOS boot system, including compiler and tools, on a USB 
memory drive and boot from it.

A good web to start on is:

Good Luck...
Mark
