Q:

Why are manhole covers round?

Answer

A number of possible explanations for why manhole covers are round include :


 


1. A round manhole cover cannot fall through its circular opening, whereas a square, rectangular, or oval manhole cover could fall in if it were inserted diagonally in the hole.


2. Circular covers don’t need to be rotated or precisely aligned when placing them on the opening.


3. A round manhole cover is easily moved and rolled.


4. Human beings have a roughly circular cross-section.


5. Round tubes are the strongest shape against the compression of the earth around them, so the cover of the tube would naturally be round as well.


6. It’s easier to dig a circular hole.

Q:

Can 8259 he interfaced with 8085 via the trap pin?

Answer

Yes... so if 8529 gives interrupt then it will be serviced immediately but since INTA pin is left hanging the INSR bit will never be set.. and so whenever my interrupt occurs depending upon priority it will be serviced.. also the ISR address for all interrupts will be same ie 0024H..


Interrupt via trap is nonmaskable, so it will be serviced immediately.
