Selecting the Base I/O Space Address Location
The
host addresses I/O devices on the card by using their I/O space addresses.
The host addresses individual devices through registers that have addresses
based on the I/O space base address. The registers are 2 bytes (1 word) long.
The card comes set to base I/O space address 220. Y

selected address has been allocated to other interface cards or expansion memory
cards you have installed in your computer system. If this occurs, change the
switch settings to an open address.
Important: When selecting configuration settings, check for conflicts with
other interface cards and system memory. If there is a conflict, the
system will not operate properly.
