       - Intel defined 0 through 20h for use for internal CPU;  IBM
         redefined interrupts 0 through 1Fh for its own use, hence
         the duplicate definitions in the tables
       - all interrupts except the internal CPU exceptions push the
         flags and the CS:IP of the next instruction onto the stack.
         CPU exception interrupts are similar but push the CS:IP of the
         causal instruction.   8086/88 divide exceptions are different,
         they return to the instruction following the division
       - interrupts are disabled upon entry into any interrupt routine and
         should be enabled by the user or by an IRET
       - in DOS 3.2+ hardware IRQ interrupts are re-vectored through DOS
         to provide standard stack frames
