>If you get the 82093AA datasheet from Intel's website, it will contain the >defacto standard for the way an I/O APIC is programmed. OK, I don't see any "programming info" in the datasheet. Nothing about how a BIOS is expected to set up APIC or how you can ask the BIOS what is going on. Clearly an OS must determinet this stuff at startup. I just haven't had time but I figure if I find the Linux kernel startup stuff I might find out how they do it. Hale *** Hale Landis *** www.ata-atapi.com ***
