In regard to the question of Markus Kuhn, address mskuhn@faui09.informatik.uni-erlangen.de The method of handling interrupts in Ada is to map the interrupt into a task. Task entry code will take care of setting DS, and preparing the stack and frame pointers. Ada code can then be writen which uses a procedure written in assembler to read the port, and put the value in an Ada variable. The interrupt itself is treated as a entry call to the task which operates at higher priority than any software task. Hope this helps.
