Hi, I'm wondering how feasable it is to process a PCI hardware interrupt through VC++ .NET. I have a device that rotates, and every time it passes a certain number of degrees, it sends a hardware interrupt. I need to be able to catch this interrupt so I can send a signal to another machine to let it know that that number of degrees has passed. Anyone know how, or can point me to somewhere with an explaination?
 
I was doing such things 17 years ago on DOS machine using Borland Turbo C. There was keyword interrupt preceeding function declaration. What about C++ - may be in Borland C++ 3.0 these things are still preserved? In nowadays Windows interrupts are allowed only for drivers.
