The KC Compact contains a U82536 CIO chip (russian clone of Zilog Z8536 CIO). The CIO is used to emulate the CPCs Printer Port, and to emulate timings that are normally produced by the CPCs Gate Array.

CIO I/O Ports in KC Compact

 EC00h - CIO Data Port B (video timer)
 ED00h - CIO Data Port C (interrupt timer)
 EE00h - CIO Control Port
 EF00h - CIO Data Port A (bi-directional printer port) (and TEST remote boot)
