I/O Memory Map

Table 5 provides a map of memory addresses reserved by the computer for peripheral input/output (I/O) devices. Use the information in Table 5 to determine if the memory address of an external device (such as a PC Card) conflicts with a memory address reserved by the computer.

Check the documentation of the external I/O device to determine its memory address. If a device's memory address conflicts with a memory address reserved by the computer, change the address of the device.

NOTE: To view I/O addresses in Windows 95 and Windows 98, click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel. Double-click the System icon. Click the Device Manager tab, and then double-click Computer.
