Input and Output // IND, INDR (INput and Decrement, INput and Decrement Repeated)
The contents of Register C are placed on the bottom half (A0 through A7) of the address bus to select the I/O device at one of 256 possible ports. Register B can be used as a byte counter, and its contents are placed on the top half (A8 through A15) of the address bus at this time. Then one byte from the selected port is placed on the data bus and written to the CPU. The contents of the HL register pair are placed on the address bus and the input byte is written to the corresponding location of memory. Finally, the byte counter and register pair HL are decremented.
Register C contains 07h, Register B contains 10h, the HL register pair contains 1000h, and byte 7Bh is available at the peripheral device mapped to I/O port address 07h. Upon the execution of an IND instruction, memory location 1000h contains 7Bh, the HL register pair contains 0FFFh, and Register B contains 0Fh.
