Register Descriptions

If the FIFO overflows, the FIFO and the FIFO Overflow Status bit are cleared by disabling and
then re-enabling the FIFO through the FIFO control bit (WR15, D2). Otherwise, this register
returns an image of RR3.
On the NMOS version, a read to this location returns an image of RR3.
Read Register 8
RR8 is the Receive Data register.
Read Register 9 (ESCC and 85C30 Only)
On the ESCC, Read Register 9 reflects the contents of Write Register 3 provided the Extended
Read option has been enabled.
On the NMOS/CMOS version, a read to this location returns an image of RR13.
