I don't know - haven't checked that. Just mentioned what smf wrote.

How does it switch to accept the pulses then? Again - I haven't checked the schematics (don't even remember the pinout) so if you have one at hand and it's on the same pins, then there must be something telling it to run those pins as inputs. Might be done via internal DDR though.
