IMPORTANT
Be aware that Windows NT protects its memory as well as its
interrupts and may not list all the resources it is using. We
suggest that you select a memory address in the range from
000D0000 to 000DFFFF.
IMPORTANT
You must restart Windows NT in order for your PCD card to
work with your software application.
