NOTE The IRQs for the Ethernet, Video, and Internal LPC bus are automatically assigned by the BIOS Plug and Play logic. Local IRQs assigned during initialization can not be used by external devices.

Memory Map

The following table provides the common PC/AT memory allocations. These are DOS-level addresses. The OS typically hides these physical addresses by way of memory management. Memory below 000500h is used by the BIOS.
