The serial port is a buffered, 8-bit synchronous shift register. A control bit (CRA6) selects input or output mode. In the Amiga system one shift register is used for the keyboard, and the other is unassigned. Note that the RS-232 compatible serial port is controlled by the Paula chip ; see chapter 8 for details.
