7.2 Memory Area
The first 640 KBytes of DRAM are used as main memory. With DOS, you can
address 1 MByte of memory directly. Memory area above 1 MByte (high memory,
extended memory) is accessed under DOS via special drivers such as HIMEM.SYS
and EMM386.EXE, which are part of the operating system. See the operating
system documentation or special textbooks for information about HIMEM.SYS and
EMM386.EXE.
Other operating systems (Linux or Windows versions) allow you to address the
full memory area directly.

7.3 I/O Address Map
The I/O-port addresses of the microETXexpress®-PV-XT COM are functionally
identical to those of a standard PC/AT system. All addresses not mentioned in
Table 1 should be available. We recommend that you do not use I/O addresses
below 0100h for additional hardware for compatibility reasons, even if
available.
