The PC Technical Guide

Resources - Input/Output Address (I/O)

I/O addresses are resources represent locations in memory that are designated for use by various devices to exchange information between themselves and the rest of  the  PC.  There  are  different  addresses  of 

different sizes. In the table below each row is 16 bytes and is divided into four columns. The first is for bytes (0 to 3), the second (4 to 7), the third (8 to B) and the fourth (C to F). So to find address (300-301h), you would look in the first column of row (330-33Fh). You may find this table useful when considering how to configure your system or for resolving I/O address conflicts. Where you see two or more resources overlapping in the same address space, there is the potential for a resource conflict.
