Chapter 4: Address Selection
The ICOM-2S base address can be selected anywhere within an I/O address range 100-3F8 hex,
providing that the address does not overlap with other functions. If in doubt, refer to the table below
for a list of standard address assignments. (The primary and secondary binary synchronous
communication ports are supported by the Operating System.) The base address locator program
FINDBASE provided on CD will assist you to select a base address that will avoid conflict with other
installed computer resources.
