[comp.sys.next] disk xfer's interrupted

eht@f.word.cs.cmu.edu (Eric Thayer) (01/19/90)

Has anyone else noticed that disk transfers get interrupted for things like
keypresses and beeps?  What is going on?

I look at the disk access light on an external SCSI I have and it goes out
whenever I press a key or cause the bell to ring.
