(note: A8 is passed through an inverter and this describes the order of the registers in the table compared to the order of the registers in the CIO datasheet)
 
In the KC Compact:
 
* Port A is setup as I/O and is connected to the parallel printer port
* Port B is setup as timer and is connected to the video hardware (?)
* Port C is setup as timer and is connected to the Interrupt hardware
On start-up, the KC compact programs the z8536 to the following state:
