Keyboard Controller
The keyboard controller (H8/3434) supports a PS/2-style keyboard, mouse and password
security feature. Refer to Appendix A for keyboard interface connector pin assignments.
When data is written to the output buffer, the controller generates an interrupt, and requests
the CPU to receive the data. The controller automatically adds an even parity bit to the data
sent and waits for a response. The device must acknowledge that the data was successfully
received by sending a response to the controller for each byte of data received.
