Comments
The purpose of the lower 3 bits is unknown. Someone with a model (none) or A calculator will have to do some testing. If the old USB hardware is present, most of the USB ports work differently.
On the old hardware, port 39h also seems to be tied to the functions of this port.
The upper four bits are quirky and are heavily depend on hardware revision. On at least hardware M, the upper 4 bits are tied to the upper 4 bits of port 39h.
Another way to check for the old USB revision is to check port 15h for the value 44h.
