Hi,

In MS-DOS, I can use ISRs to communicate with hardwares. For example, INT 14
returns serial port status. Hence, I can develop a utility to perform
diagnostic on these hardwares.

But I could not find information about using ISRs in Linux. Can I use ISRs
in Linux? If not, how can I talk to peripherial devices?
