I've made some clarifications and corrections in the documentation for
assignment 1:

  In the Interrupt Handler section of the Assignment 1 page - You need to
  implement three interrupt handlers, not two. I left out the countdown
  interrupt handler.

  In the Batch Disk section of the Assignment 1 page - Several people were
  having trouble understanding how a batch disk was defined, so I rewrote that
  section a bit and drew an picture of an example batch disk.

  In the System Calls section of the Hardware Architecture page - If the sleep
  system call passes a non-positive sleep time, the system call should do
  nothing. You don't have to pass back an error code.

The modified documentation is available off the class web page.
