Unstrobed I/O
The 6533 devices can perform unstrobed I/O, which is basic digital I/O
that employs no handshaking or hardware-controlled timing. You can
write or read data directly to or from the four digital I/O ports of the
6533 devices. The I/O ports contain eight lines each and are labeled A,
B, C, and D. You can configure each line individually for either input
or output.
When you perform only unstrobed I/O, the 6533 device does not require
its handshaking control and status signals to carry timing information.
Therefore, you can use the REQ and STOPTRIG lines as extra data
inputs, and the ACK and PCLK lines as extra data outputs.
