Abstract
A system whereby a receiving module, in a mixed network of hardware and software-emulated modules, requires an Interrupt before it can use a Get Message OP to access a message from a message queue and which also provides a Fast Empty of messages in a message queue by eliminating the need for an Interrupt before each succeeding message access.
