The usual proceedure for handling this is....
install portion...
Get interupt vectors for the original interupt (the one your gonna replace).
Save these values.
interupt portion.... (IE: interupt is called)
The new interupt handler checks to see if it is a call for it's specific
code. If the interupt is not for it, then setup the stack, far call the
"old saved" interupt vectors.
In other words... chain the interupt...
