IN               Input Byte or Word                  Flags: not altered

IN accumulator,port

          Logic:    accumulator . (port)

    IN transfers a byte or a word from a port to AL or AX. The port may be
    specified by an immediate byte value (for ports 0 through 255) or by
    the DX register (allowing access to all ports).

       Notes:         It is advised that hardware not use I/O ports F8h
                      through FFh, since these are reserved for
                      controlling the math coprocessor and future
                      processor extensions.
