Common I/O Base Address Device Assignments in IBM PC Compatible Computers
This table represents the common I/O address ranges for device assignments in IBM PC compatible computers. The base address is the first in each range. Each row of the table represents a device or chip within the computer system. For example, the address status port in the LPT device is 0x0001, adding the base address of LPT2 (0x0378) results in the address of the LPT2 status port being 0x0379.
When there are two or more identical devices in a computer system, each device would be mapped to a different base address (e.g. LPT2 and LPT3 for printers).

Famous quotes containing the words compatible, common, device, address and/or base:
“I have no ambition to surprise my reader. Castles with unknown passages are not compatible with my homely muse.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“The common breeds the common,
A lout begets a lout,
