External read port: B_GPSTB is a read buffer enable for external data on
SD[15:8].
External write port: B_GPSTB is a write latch enable for SD[15:8] to get
latched to an external register. Reads of Socket B External Data register
produce the value written to the latch.

Note: For software compatibility of external data access accross the PC Card (PCMCIA) controller
product line, the Socket B External Data register should only be used as a read port and not as a
write port. Also for compatibility, only the lower nibble of External Data should be accessed and
the upper nibble should be ignored. For software compatibility with VS1# and VS2# detection
software, when Socket B is used as a read port, socket VS1# and VS2# signals should be connected
to the external read buffer as shown in Figure 15 on page 96.
Refer to “Using GPSTB Pins for External Port Control (PD6722 only)” on page 91 for more
information on the use of the External Data register, and “VS1# and VS2# Voltage Detection” on
page 95 for more information on VS1# and VS2# detection.
