> 1. How do I hook my own handler to an interrupt?
Put the address of yer Handler in the appropriate InteruptVectorTable
location.
Mask the PIC accordingly to make yer IRQ active.

> 2. Can I use all the 256 entries in the handler list?
Sure. BUT: some of them might be important to yer operating system. Be
careful.

> 3. Can I trigger an interrupt in software?
Yup. If you using say InteruptVector 0x71 just call it like a software
interupt..
int86(0x71,&Regs,&Regs);
