IN              Input from Port                      Flags: Not altered

IN accumulator,port                                  IOpm

        Logic   accumulator . [port]

    IN reads a byte, word, or a doubleword from a specified port and
    stores it in AL, AX, or EAX. The port number is specified as an
    immediate byte value (for ports 0 thru 255) or by the DX register
    (allowing access to all ports).

    Protected mode
    An exception occurs if the current task has insufficient privilege
    for the I/O. IN is not IOPL-sensitive in V86 mode.
