I'm new to using a PC and am writing an application where it
would be nice to do disk IO without pausing.  [Set aside a buffer
area, initiate the read and return control and get interrupted when
a character is ready to be read.]
 
I don't know enough of the PC interrupts yet to do this.  Can someone
else out there enlighten me?  Thanks
