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:
“English general and singular terms, identity, quantification, and the whole bag of ontological tricks may be correlated with elements of the native language in any of various mutually incompatible ways, each compatible with all possible linguistic data, and none preferable to another save as favored by a rationalization of the native language that is simple and natural to us.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“The educated do not share a common body of information, but a common state of mind.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Johnson did not answer ...; but talking for victory and determined to be master of the field, he had recourse to the device which Goldsmith imputed to him in the witty words of one of Cibber’s comedies. “There is no arguing with Johnson; for when his pistol misses fire, he knocks you down with the butt end of it.””
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Classic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. ROLLING IN THE MUCK IS NOT THE BEST WAY OF GETTING CLEAN.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Were I as base as is the lowly plain,
And you, my Love, as high as heaven above,
Yet should the thoughts of me, your humble swain,
Ascend to heaven in honour of my love.”
—Joshua Sylvester (1561–1618)
