Hi Geert,

thanks for your kind reply. As far as I understand the 68000 manual
(http://www.freescale.com/files/archives/doc/ref_manual/M68000PRM.pdf,
section b.2), the CPU does not store the vector number on the exception
stack. This is also what I've seen in the debugger: some seemingly bogus
irq number is passed to m68k_handle_int. Any suggestions how to solve
this? I guess it is not a good idea to write an individual
user*_inthandler for each of the 255-64=191 possible user interrupts.

Best regards,
Matthias
