	I've seen many authors saying that it is impossible to
use // port as input.
	I don't have my technical reference manual here at work,
but all they say is that this is not recommended.
	I wrote a few years ago a program to grab byte from a silly
voltmeter, it uses 8 bit input and the // card used is still alive.
