If that kluge was satisfactory why is there a trend toward providing more
interrupts?

There isn't. They are virtual IRQ's provided via software.

There are no storage drivers in DOS. IBM's BIOS was used, or third

I traced thru what I thought was the "installable device driver" for
the floppy disks in the system part of DOS, which I believe was at
CS:IP=80:00H. But that was indeed a long time ago.

I am not talking about the BIOS routines but the ones called thru INT
28H, the DOS system call

That sounds right but I haven't been there in a long time.

Nice one, Ronnie.

The clueless troll can't even decipher who he's responding to.

The correct description is "rounded", not "round".

The source you reference above used "round" and "rounded" interchangeably.
However this statement makes it clear that you have nothing to say that is
worth the effort of reading.s

The cables
described at Directron are machine rounded. They are not the typical
round cable we see in standard multi-wire configurations like
telephone cable.

You mean that they have no twisted pairs?

You are aware that ribbon cables are usually bound together in a loose
bundle with ties and that they are very close to sources of electrical
noise.

Not as close as the individual conductors in a round cable. You are of
course aware that the 80-conductor IDE cable came into existence to
address
a specific crosstalk problem are you not?

Clueless, it was a transmission line and paring issue. Crosstalk was only
a byproduct.

Did you bother to read the articles on that website.

So utterly juvenile.

Good riddance, ****wit.

Why do 13 year old trolls come to technical forums like this?

No one really pays any attention to them. I guess they like being
called ****wits.

Avoid the bait.
