In addition to its function as a digital I/O port, digital port C,
PC<0..7>, can also be used for handshaking when performing data
transfers with ports A and B. The signals assigned to port C depend
on the mode in which it is programmed. In mode 0, port C is
considered two 4-bit I/O ports. In modes 1 and 2, port C is used for
status and handshaking signals with two or three additional I/O
bits. Table 4-5 summarizes the signal assignments of port C for
each programmable mode.
