A86: Re: Maskable Interrupts
No, from my knowledge (and Kirk Meyer's too ;-) ) maskable interrupts do not
run while the calc is off. He explained this in the recent ticalc.org
newsletter. I think David Phillips has also come to the conclusion that
they don't. Because of 'halt'. It stops the interrupts and goes into low
power mode. I am pretty sure this is essentially what happens when the calc
turns off.
