This document refers to the 82C55 ports as A, B, and C. NI-DAQmx, Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy), and LabVIEW
documentation use numbers to identify ports. For example, this manual uses port A to refer to the first port of the 82C55A.
NI-DAQmx, Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy), LabWindows/CVI, LabVIEW, or other application software documentation,
however, refer to this port as 0. The Alternate Port ID column shows the correlation between the different port names.

The signals assigned to port C vary depending on how the 82C55A is
configured. In mode 0—or no handshaking configuration—port C is
configured as two 4-bit I/O ports. In modes 1 and 2—or handshaking
configuration—port C is used for status and handshaking signals with any
leftover lines available for general-purpose I/O. Table 3-3 summarizes the
port C signal assignments for each configuration. You can also use ports A
and B in different modes; the table does not show every possible
combination. Consult Appendix B,
for register-level programming information.

Port ID
2 Port C—Bidirectional data lines
for port C. PC7 is the MSB, PC0
is the LSB.
1 Port B—Bidirectional data lines
for port B. PB7 is the MSB, PB0
is the LSB.
0 Port A—Bidirectional data lines
for port B. PA7 is the MSB, PA0
is the LSB.
— +5 Volts—This pin is fused for
up to 1 A at +4.65 to 5.25 V.
— Ground—These signals are
connected to the computer
ground reference.
