Parse Control and Status MCP Pins to Dosbox Parallel IO Registers:

// Example program
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <bitset>
int main()
{
 char a = 0b00000111; //Parallel Control Byte to Parport
 char ro = (a&1)|(a&2)<<4|(a&4)<<5; //MCP-Byte Control Out: 10100001

std::bitset<8> x(ro);
std::cout << x;
std::cout << "\r\n";
 char b = 0b01011110; //Status In, Read status from MCP and parse bits as status Byte to Dosbox
 char ri = (b&2)<<5|(b&4)<<5|(b&8)<<2 |(b&16)|(b&64)>>3; //StatusByte MCP Read Return as Status: 11111000
std::bitset<8> z(ri);
