Configuring the GP488B/MM PC104 Interface I/O Base Address

The factory default I/O base address is 02E1. If this creates a conflict, reset SW1 micro-
switches 4 and 5 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. No two boards may

have the same I/O address; but they may, and usually should, have the same DMA channel

and interrupt level.

The factory default Interrupt (IRQ) is 5. If this creates a conflict, reset SW1 micro-switches 1,

2, and 3, and jumper JP3 according to the figure. The switch and jumper settings must both
indicate the same interrupt level for correct operation with interrupts. If reset, record the new

Interrupt (IRQ) being used.
