Emulated Z8536 CIO Registers and Port Pins

Although MVME2300 series boards do not use a Z8536 device, several of its functions are emulated within an ISA Register PLD. These functions are accessed by reading/writing the Port A, B, C Data registers and Control register. Note that the Pseudo IACK function is not implemented in the MVME2300 series.

Emulated Z8536 Registers

The MVME2300 series implements the Z8536 CIO functions according to the following table.
