<blockquote>
<pre>
port range: 0x8A00 - 0x8A02
</pre>
<p>
Port <b>0x8A00</b> servers as command register. You can use it to enable the
i/o interface, change which data register is active, etc.
<p>
Port <b>0x8A01</b> is used as data register for the memory monitoring.
<p>
Port <b>0x8A02</b> is used as data register for breakpoints/watchpoints.
</blockquote>
<p>
<b>Commands supported by the 0x8A00 port</b>
<blockquote>
<i>note: all accesses must be done using word</i><br>
<i>note2: reading this register will return 0x8A00 if currently activated, otherwise 0</i>
<pre>0x8A00</pre>
<p>

value to it.
<pre>

out port: 0x8A01 data: 0xABCD
reg0 = 0x4567ABCD
