12、he main advantage of asynchronous I/O is increased system efficiency.Device-Status TableI/O StructurenProgrammed input/output(PIO)is a method of transferring data between the CPU and a peripheral.In general,programmed I/O happens when software running on the CPU uses instructions that access I/O add
