What does the EOI actually do?? The EOI causes the hardware interrupt controller (PIC) to reset its interrupt flag for that level of interrupt. If you didn't clear the source of the interrupt (say by reading the keyboard data register) the PIC will retrigger on the next clock cycle and you're back in the interrupt handler. \/\/\/*=Martin
