    Interupt Request. This is an address that a component can communicate to that tells the processor that a component such as a keyboard, wants to input something. I believe that your Keyboard is IRQ 1, and your mouse is IRQ 12. There are 16 IRQ addresses on 32-bit operating systems.(such as Windows)
