A.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer
To program the watchdog timer, you must write a program which
writes I/O port address 443 (hex). The output data is a time interval
value. The value range is from 01 (hex) to 3E (hex), and the related
time interval is from 1 sec. to 62 sec.

3E 62 sec.
After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by
rewriting the I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When
you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read I/O
port 443 (hex).
