The eight inputs and eight outputs are 74HCT series compatible.

The input and output ports are simple devices that require no initialisation, simply read and write with a single assemble instruction or a single BASIC statement.

Address decoding allows the module to be set to any I/O address in the range 0 to 255 (0x00 to 0xFF hexadecimal) and occupies only a single address. Many of these modules can be used at the same time.
