+# Hardware
+- IO device linked to machine via Port
+- link is a set of wires called a Bus
+- as each end of the link is a device controller (basically a process)

+device controller registers
+- each contoller has registers for holding signals
+- CPU can read and write these
+- some hold data some control signals
+
+adressesing devices
+- each port has an address range
+- CPU can issue IO instructions to particular addresses
+- communication can be 1 byte at a time for via direct memory access
