PIC = Programmable Interrupt Controller
APIC = Advanced PIC

Is there a way to know if the interrupt management on a computer is
done with a PIC or an APIC? Are there tables which give the answer,
according to the OS used, and the processor.

If anyone has a good thought to share, please do.

Thanks.

Nico.
