I thought that's what I said. " But for the P2, there are two. "
Meaning, they have two sections in the MC6805P2 (and 'P4 and 'P6)
"Port DC Electrical Characteristics" table of the spec sheet, one
for "Port A with CMOS Drive enabled", and one for "Port C and
Port A with CMOS Drive Disabled". Giving VOL, VOH, VIL, and VIH
under various conditions. The "drive enabled" section matches
the '705P3' table in having both the additional "VOH with a 10 uA load"
spec, and having the higher IIH spec.

Mark, I think your answer was tight and targeted at the OP's
first post well. I think Asgard24's response tried to change
the subject, writing "The point was that there should be a
bit more clarity to begin with, not that the question
couldn't be answered with some digging." That hadn't been
the OP's point, but it was a point Asgard24 tried to turn it
into for reasons I don't fathom well.

You were right to write as you did. It was on point and
nicely said.
