During a mode 1 data read 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 an input transfer are
shown as follows.
The following are the port C status-word bit definitions for input (port A and port B).

7–6
I/O
Input/Output—Extra I/O status lines when port A is in mode 1
input.
5
IBFA
Input Buffer Full for Port A—High indicates that data has been
loaded into the input latch for port A.
4
INTEA
Interrupt Enable Bit for Port A—Enables interrupts from the
82C55A for port A. Controlled by bit set/reset of PC4.
3
INTRA
Interrupt Request Status for Port A—When INTEA is high and
IBFA is high, this bit is high, indicating that an interrupt request is
asserted.
2
INTEB
Interrupt Enable Bit for Port B—Enables interrupts from the
82C55A for port B. Controlled by bit set/reset of PC2.
1
IBFB
Input Buffer Full for Port B—High indicates that data has been
loaded into the input latch for port B.
0
INTRB
Interrupt Request Status for Port B—When INTEB is high and
IBFB is high, this bit is high, indicating that an interrupt request is
asserted.
At the digital I/O connector, port C has the following pin assignments when in mode 1 input.
Notice that the status of STBA* and STBB* are not included in the port C status word.
