The [[KC Compact]] contains a U82536 CIO chip (russian clone of Zilog Z8536 CIO). The CIO is used to emulate the CPCs [[Printer Port]], and to emulate timings that are normally produced by the CPCs [[Gate Array]].

== CIO I/O Ports in KC Compact ==

  EC00h - CIO Data Port B (video timer)
  ED00h - CIO Data Port C (interrupt timer)
  EE00h - CIO Control Port
  EF00h - CIO Data Port A (bi-directional printer port) (and TEST remote boot)
