The fire buttons are normally opened switches routed to the 8520 adapter
PRA0 as follows:
PRA0 bit 7 = Fire* left controller port
PRA0 bit 6 = Fire* right controller port
Before reading this register, the corresponding bits of the data direction
register must be cleared to define input mode:
DDRA0<7:6> cleared as appropriate
NOTE:
-----
Do not disturb the settings of other bits in DDRA0 (Use of ROM kernel
calls is recommended).
Fire buttons are always valid and may be read at any time.
