PARALLEL PORT
General aspects
Input / Output Ports The
IO ports are constituted in the means by which the microprocessor of a computer communicates with its surroundings. Ports for each interaction of the unit of main processing with their auxiliary devices exist. Thus, it exists a port of
input for the keyboard, an outport for the video, a port of input for the mouse, etc. The Personal computer (PC) can
address until 64K IO ports. Each port is designated by a number. Next the
address in hexadecimal are listed of the most usual IO ports
