Consider a computer system that contains an I/O module controlling a simple keyboard/printer teletype. The following registers are contained in the processor and connected directly to the system bus:

INPR: Input Register, 8 bits

OUTR: Output Register, 8 bits

FGI: Input Flag, 1 bit

FGO: Output Flag, 1 bit

IEN: Interrupt Enable, 1 bit Keystroke input from the teletype and printer output to the teletype are controlled by the I/O module. The teletype is able to encode an alphanumeric symbol to an 8-bit word and decode an 8-bit word into an alphanumeric symbol.

A. Describe how the processor, using the first four registers listed in this problem, can achieve I/O with the teletype.

B. Describe how the function can be performed more efficiently by also employing IEN.
