I will double check the hardware documentation to see if resetting is 
necessary. However, the relevant IRQ status bit in the status register 
does indicate other interrupts (after the first) are being trigger.

Should I somehow (?) acknowledge when the interrupt handler is done?? I 
notice some people return 0 at the end of the handler.

Is there something special I should do if I replace the existing IRS 
with my own?
