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 common i, compatible, common, device, address and/or base:
“Poetry, at all times, exercises two distinct functions: it may reveal, it may unveil to every eye, the ideal aspects of common things ... or it may actually add to the number of motives poetic and uncommon in themselves, by the imaginative creation of things that are ideal from their very birth.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“Despair is perfectly compatible with a good dinner, I promise you.”
—William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
“It is a common accident for men camping in the woods to be killed by a falling tree.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A bracelet of bright hair about the bone,
Will he not let us alone,
And think that there a loving couple lies
Who thought that this device might be some way
To make their souls, at the last busy day,
Meet at this grave, and make a little stay?”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“Another success is the post-office, with its educating energy augmented by cheapness and guarded by a certain religious sentiment in mankind; so that the power of a wafer or a drop of wax or gluten to guard a letter, as it flies over sea over land and comes to its address as if a battalion of artillery brought it, I look upon as a fine meter of civilization.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“For those who are base in judgement do not know the good they hold in their hands until they cast it off.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
