PROGRAMMING OF THE
COMMAND
REGISTER
The command register consists of eight latches. Four
bits
(0-3) define the mode of the ports. two bits (4-5)
enable
or
disable the interrupt from
port
C when it acts
as
control port. and the last two bits (6-7)
areforthetimer.
The command register contents can be altered at any
time
by
using the
110
address
XXXXXOOO
during a WRITE
operation with the Chip Enable active and lo/fiil =
1.
The
meaning
of
each bit
of
the command byte is defined in
Figure
3.
The contents
of
the command register may
never be read.

READING THE STATUS REGISTER
The status register consists of seven latches. one
for
each
bit; six
(0-5)
for
the status of the ports and one
(6)
for
the
status of the timer.
The status
of
the timer and the
I/O
sec.tion can be polled
by reading the Status Register (Address
XXXXXOOO).
Status word format is shown
in
Figure
4.
Note that you
may never write to the status register since the command
register shares the same
I/O address and the command
register is
selected when a write
to
that address is issued.
