BASE ADDRESS

Unless there is already a board
in your system which uses
address 300h (768 Decimal)
then you can leave the
switches as they are set at the
factory.

In the example shown here,
the CIO-CTR##HD is set for
base address 300h (768
Decimal).

Certain address are used by the PC, others are free and can be used by the
CIO-CTR##HD and other expansion boards. We recommend trying BASE = 300h
(768D) first.

The CIO-CTRHD BASE switch may be set for address in the range of 000-3F8 so it
should not be hard to find a free address area for your CIO-CTRHD. Once again, if
