Personal488 for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP 889496 Hardware Configuration Reference 4-3
AT488 Configurations
The I/O base address, IRQ, and DMA settings are switch/jumper selectable via the following
locations on the AT488 interface board: One 2-microswitch DIP switch labeled S1, one
4-microswitch DIP switch labeled S2, two 14-pin headers labeled DACK and DRQ, and one
22-pin header labeled IRQ. The DIP switch settings, and the arrangement of the jumpers on
the headers set the hardware configuration.
For the next steps, make sure that the I/O address, IRQ, and DMA set on the interface board
are different from any existing ports in your system. A conflict results when two I/O
addresses, IRQs, or DMAs are the same. (As the exception, additional AT488 interfaces may
share the same IRQ and DMA values.) If there is a conflict, reconfigure the switch/jumper
settings. Refer to the following figures as needed.

The factory default I/O base address is 02E1. If this creates a conflict, reset switch S1
according to the figure and following table. The register addresses will be automatically
relocated at fixed offsets from the base address. If reset, record the new Input/Output (I/O)
address being used.

The I/O base address sets the addresses used by the computer to communicate with the IEEE
488 interface hardware on the board. The address is normally specified in hexadecimal and
can be 02E1, 22E1, 42E1, or 62E1. The registers of the IOT7210 IEEE 488 controller chip
and other auxiliary registers are then located at fixed offsets from the base address.
Most versions of Driver488 are capable of managing as many as four IEEE 488 interfaces. To
do so, the interface configurations must be arranged to avoid conflict amongst themselves.
No two boards may have the same I/O address; but they may, and usually should, have the
same DMA channel and interrupt level.
