Table 5

provides a map of the upper memory area. Some of these addresses are dedicated to various system devices, such as the

system/video basic input/output system (BIOS). Others are available for use by expansion cards and/or an expanded memory
manager (EMM).

When the microprocessor or a program addresses a location within the upper memory area, it is physically addressing a location
within one of these devices.

I/O Memory Map

Table 6

provides a map of memory addresses reserved by the system for peripheral input/output (I/O) devices. Use the information

in Table 6 to determine if the memory address of an external peripheral (such as a PC Card) conflicts with a memory address
reserved by the system.

Check the documentation of the external I/O device to determine its memory address. If there is a conflict with a memory address
reserved by the system, change the address of the device.

NOTE: To view I/O addresses in Windows 95 and Windows 98, click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control
Panel
. Double-click the System icon. Click the Device Manager tab, and then double-click Computer.
