Programming the Watchdog Timer

To program the watchdog timer, you must write a program which writes

I/O port address 443 (hex). The output data is a time interval value. The

value range is from 01 (hex) to 3F (hex), and the related time interval is

from 1 sec. to 63 sec.

After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by

rewriting the I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When

you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read I/O

port 443 (hex).
