Port C Register
Port C is special in the sense that it can be used as an 8-bit I/O port like port A and port B if
neither port A nor port B is used in handshaking (latched) mode. If either port A or port B is
configured for latched I/O, some of the bits in port C are used for handshaking signals. See
Programming the Digital I/O Circuitry later in this chapter for a description of the individual bits
in the Port C Register.
