INSW  Input Word String From Port (186/286/386)      Flags: O D I T S Z A P C

INSW

           Logic:          ES:DI . word from source port
                           if DF = 0 then
                               DI . DI + 2
                           else
                               DI . DI - 2

     The INSW instruction lets you read a word string from a port. The
     destination string is pointed to by ES:DI. The input port number must be
     in DX. If the direction flag is set, DI is decremented. If it is not set,
     DI is incremented.

        Note:          This instruction is usually used with a REP
                       prefix. Load CX with the number of times to repeat
                       the instruction.
