The PC responds most quickly when it receives an input signal just prior to SYS-
MAC BUS/2 refreshing.

Minimum I/O response time = input ON delay
+ communications cycle time × 5+ cycle time x 2
+ output ON delay
Minimum I/O response time = 1.5 + (5×5) + (20×2) +15 = 81.5 ms
The PC takes longest to respond when it receives the input signal just after SYS-
MAC BUS/2 refreshing. In this case the CPU does not recognize the input signal
until the next cycle. This situation is illustrated below.
