RegNum
The Interrupt Status Queue Register is used in both Memory Mode and I/O Mode to provide the host with
interrupt information. Whenever an event occurs that triggers an enabled interrupt, the CS8900 sets the appropri-
ate bit(s) in one of five registers, maps the contents of that register to the ISQ register, and drives an IRQ pin
high. Three of the registers mapped to ISQ are event registers: RxEvent (Register 4), TxEvent (Register 8), and
BusEvent (Register C). The other two registers are counter-overflow reports: RxMISS (Register 10) and TxCOL
(Register 12). In Memory Mode, ISQ located at PacketPage base + 120h. In I/O Mode, ISQ is located at I/O
Base + 0008h. See Section 5.1.
