I only use the interrupt vector which jumps to the address read from the VIC and the SWI vector, which jumps to a fixed address. But you also copy your vectors to RAM and use the MEMMAP register to remap the interrupt vectors to RAM. Read the "MEMORY MAPPING CONTROL" section in the user manual to see how this works. Richard.
