In the 8085 microprocessor, memory-mapped I/O uses the same address space for both memory and I/O devices, allowing up to 64 KB of I/O addresses. In contrast, I/O mapped I/O (also known as port-mapped I/O) utilizes a separate address space for I/O operations, which allows for a limited number of I/O devices to be addressed (up to 256 8-bit ports). The instructions for accessing memory-mapped I/O involve standard memory instructions (like MOV), whereas I/O mapped I/O requires specific instructions like IN and OUT. This distinction affects how devices are interfaced and programmed.
