This list shows only the internal standard I/O ports, as used in the BIOS ROM of the CPC 464/664/6128 BIOS, and in the AMSDOS ROM of the CPC 664/6128 and DDI-1. For a more complete list, including all Peripherals, see the Complete I/O Port Summary.

  • The three 765 FDC floppy ports are contained in CPC 664/6128/Plus and DDI-1 only.
  • The eight Amstrad Serial Interface ports are pre-defined as shown above in the AMSDOS ROM. However, neither the CPC 664/6128/Plus nor DDI-1 do actually contain the corresponding RS232 hardware.
  • Bit14 of the PAL selection address must be at 1 on CPCs equipped with CRTCs 0/1/2. It can be at 0 or 1 on CRTCs 3/4. For compatibility reasons, it is strongly advised to always set bit14 to 1 to select PAL.
  • As components use partial address decoding, it is therefore possible to send the same value to different components simultaneously by carefully using custom I/O ports.

POR column indicates whether a register has power on reset. A "N" indicates that the contents of a register are undefined at power on.

A colour in the palette is coded in 2 bytes:

  • For first byte, bit7..4 is blue value, bit3..0 is red value
  • For second byte, bit7..4 is ignored, bit3..0 is green value
