4.4 Card Configuration
The CompactFlash Memory Cards are identified
by appropriate information in the Card
Information Structure (CIS). The following
configuration registers are used to coordinate the
I/O spaces and the Interrupt level of cards that are
located in the system. In addition, these registers
provide a method for accessing status information
about the CompactFlash Card that may be used to
arbitrate between multiple interrupt sources on the
same interrupt level or to replace status
information that appears on dedicated pins in
memory cards that have alternate use in I/O cards.

Note: The location of the card configuration registers should always be read from the CIS since these locations may vary in
future products. No writes should be performed to the CompactFlash Memory Card attribute memory except to the
card configuration register addresses. All other attribute memory locations are reserved.
