I/O ports
I/O ports are used by the processor to control the operation
of peripherals. Some expansion cards are controlled via an
I/O port or group of ports.
Which port or ports the card uses can normally be selected
on the card. Refer to the following table, and the
documentation supplied with the card to establish which
ports, if any, to use and how to select them.

Note
1. I/O ports are always given in hex notation. If you are
unfamiliar with this notation refer to Numbers and
computers
earlier in this appendix.
2. If 10-bit I/O decode is selected in SETUP only ports 0 to
3FFh can be accessed on ISA cards. To access ports
from 400h to FFFFh 16-bit I/O decode must be enabled.
