Howdy people,  

I've got some questions for you hardware-literate clone masters:
 
Does the daisy-chained dual interrupt controller architecture left over from
AT days still prevail in 486 machines?

Are the basic hardware interrupt designations (mem-refresh, disk, keyboard etc..)
still the same by convention?

Are there different schemes depending on the chip set/motherboard manufacturer?

Please E-mail if possible



Thanks ahead of time,
