commands to the system.
Input Buffer
The input buffer is an 8-bit write-only register at I/O address 60h or 64h. Writing to address 60h
sets a flag to indicate a data write; writing to address 64h sets a flag to indicate a command write.
Data written to I/O address 60h is sent to keyboard through the controller's input buffer only if the
input buffer full bit in the status register is “0”.
Status Register
The status register is an 8-bit read-only register at I/O address 64h that holds information about
the status of the keyboard controller and interface. It may be read at any time.
