HP I/O Port Map (I/O Addresses Used by the System)
Peripheral devices, accessory devices and system controllers are accessed via the system I/O space,
which is not located in system memory space. The 64KB of addressable I/O space comprises 8-bit and 16-
bit registers (called I/O ports) located in the various system components. When installing an accessory
board, ensure that the I/O address space selected is in the free area of the space reserved for accessory
boards (100h to 3FFh).
Although the
Setup
program can be used to change some of the settings, the following address map is
not completely BIOS dependent, but is determined partly by the operating system. Note that some of the
I/O addresses are allocated dynamically.
