16 bit I/O Port Addressing - someone - 11-07-2021

Although seemingly novel,  the concept of using 16-bit I/O addresses is not unique to the microbee's viatel option.
It was previously used on the DG680 CPU S100 board for its SWP (Software Write Protect) circuit.

16 bit I/O addresses are described in Zilog's Z80 Assembly Programming Manual.
