Chapter 4: Address Selection
The board’s base address can be selected anywhere within the I/O bus address range 000-3E0 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 (or diskettes) will assist you to select a base address that will avoid conflict with other installed
computer resources. Then, the SETUP program will show you where to position the address jumpers
when you have selected a base address.
The following provides background information to help you better understand this process.
