Programming Considerations

Mode 0–Basic I/O

Mode 0 can be used for simple I/O functions for each of the three ports with no handshaking.
Each port can be assigned as an input or an output port. The 16 possible I/O configurations are
shown in Table 4-3. Notice that bit 7 of the control word is set when programming the mode of
operation for each port.
