Mode 2—Bidirectional Bus
Mode 2 has an 8-bit bus that can transfer both input and output data without changing the
configuration. The data transfers are synchronized with handshaking lines in port C. This mode
uses only port A; however, port B can be used in either mode 0 or mode 1 while port A is
configured for mode 2.
The control word written to the CNFG Register to configure port A as a bidirectional data bus in
mode 2 is shown as follows. If port B is configured for mode 0, then PC2, PC1, and PC0 of port
C can be used as extra input or output lines.

During a mode 2 data transfer, the status of the handshaking lines and interrupt signals can be
obtained by reading port C. The port C status-word bit definitions for a mode 2 transfer are
shown as follows.
