+The Bally Arcade system ROM provides an "automatic" interrupt service via the [[system routines:interrupt scheduler#ACTINT]] system routine.
+In the system ROM source, ACTINT is listed as follows:
+<code z80>
+        DI                      ; MAKE SURE INTERRUPT IS DISABLED
+        PUSH    AF
+        PUSH    BC
+        PUSH    DE

+        IM      2

+        LD      A,$C8
+        OUT     (INLIN),A
+        LD      A,ITAB & 0FFH
+        OUT     (INFBK),A
