Hm. I missed it. $FF1C and $FF1E is the vertical and $FF1E is the horizontal. but it's shifted one bit right, so the least significant bit is not present.

Yes. I looked for it and found. $FD0D is the "Program-Reset/Status"
register of the ACIA. (Program reset for writing and status for reading)
It's layout:
Bit Description
7 ACIA IRq
6 DSR
5 DCD
4 Transmit Data Register empty
3 Receive Data Register full
2 Overrun error *
1 Framing error *
0 Parity error *
* These bits don't generate IRq
>From these the DSR and the DCD are present on the user port connector (DSR is on pin L and DCD is on pin H).
