Optional – specifies the starting

 

 

 

address for a block of 64 consecu-

 

 

 

tive 16-bit I/O ports. Make sure the

 

 

 

block of I/O addresses does not

 

 

 

overlap the address of another

used to override a card service

 

 

 

assignment. If card services are not

 

 

 

used, this will default to 0x140.

ride a card service assignment. If
