#98296 - 8255 in original PC Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Jan,
The 8255 was indeed used in the original PC. I have been looking for my old IBM Personal Computer Technical Reference to source the info but so far cannot find it. It was not brought out to external interface but was used internally to diddle this signal and that. Found this web ref: http://cma.zdnet.com/book/upgr...9/ch09.htm -------------- " In the original PC/XT design, the keyboard serial interface is connected to an 8255 Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) chip on the motherboard of the PC/XT. This chip is connected to the interrupt controller IRQ1 line, which is used to signal that keyboard data is available. The data itself is sent from the 8255 to the processor via I/O port address 60h. The IRQ1 signal causes the main system processor to run a subroutine (INT 9h) that interprets the keyboard scan code data and decides what to do. " --------------- regards, p |
