This register generates a VXIbus Interrupt Acknowledge (IACK) cycle for interrupt level
5 when read from the MXIbus and returns the Status ID received from the interrupter. It
can generate 16-bit or 8-bit IACK cycles. Generating an 8-bit IACK cycle requires
reading offset 3B (hex). When read from the VXIbus, this register does not generate an
IACK cycle and returns FFFF (hex).
Bit Mnemonic Description
15-0 I5[15:0] Level 5 Interrupter Status ID
These bits return the Status ID received during
the IACK cycle.
