Scanning timing
The CPU turns ports P50, P51, P52, and P53 Low in this order. When not Low, those
ports are High or in high impedance. When a particular port out of them is Low, the CPU
reads the status of port P20.
The CPU scans those key contacts every 10 ms. If the CPU reads the ON state on an
input port two successive times, then it interprets it as the key being pressed; if the CPU
reads the OFF state six successive times, it interprets it as the key being released.
The input mode of this keying system is 2-key roll-over and 3-key lockout.
