The document discusses input/output (I/O) mapping schemes and the Intel 8255 Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) chip. It describes two I/O mapping schemes - memory mapped I/O and I/O mapped I/O. It then discusses the Intel 8255 PPI chip, its features, operating modes (I/O and BSR modes), and how to program it. Examples are provided of writing control words to configure the ports and a program to read from two ports and write the result to the third port.
