Port 80 Monitor : 0080h : write
This 8-bit port captures all diagnostic codes written by the motherboard
BIOS. The port is readable by DiagP, which can then communicate the
codes to the SMC. If the port contents are lost due to overrun by the
motherboard, there is no problem; the aim is merely to keep track of the
last value in the event that the system hangs.
When the port is written, the DiagP must be informed through an
interrupt line (PORT80_IRQ).
When the DiagP reads the port, the interrupt line must be automatically
reset.
