Clarify 90/180 for Bulgaria and Romania

Clarify 90/180 for Bulgaria and Romania - A Mountain Landscape under a Clear Blue Sky

Bulgaria and Romania are not yet officially Schengen, but they are in the SIS and have a 90/180 rule. What isn't clear is whether that rule is applied as if they are part of Schengen, or whether one could legally spend ninety days in Bulgaria, then ninety in Romania, and then on to Hungary.

I realize the answer might be voided by their Schengen membership becoming finally approved. And I'm just curious about the rules, independent of whatever COVID restrictions still exist.
