Example
; Example
ld bc, $00FE ; load BC with the address of port 254 ($FE) and the counter in B
ld hl, $4FFF ; load HL with the ending address of the memory block
ld b, $10 ; load B with the number of bytes to send (16 bytes in this example)
WriteLoop:
outd ; output a byte from (HL) to port C ($FE), decrement HL, decrement B
jp nz, WriteLoop ; repeat the loop if B is not zero
; after the loop, HL will be decremented by the number of bytes sent,
; and the data block starting at $4FFF will be sent to the I/O port in reverse order
