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 [[I/O Port Summary|Complete I/O Port Summary]].

* The FDC is considered as an expansion peripheral. 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.<br>
