Resolving Hardware Conflicts
This appendix provides you with information on the hardware settings
of the IDE CD-ROM interface card. It shows you how to change the
Base I/O address and IRQ line if conflicts occur between the IDE
CD-ROM interface card and other devices.
To resolve hardware conflicts between your audio card and
other devices, read the documentation that comes with your
audio card.
I/O Addresses
The interface card’s I/O addresses are the addresses used by your
computer’s microprocessor to distinguish the IDE CD-ROM interface
card from other peripheral devices in your system when sending or
receiving data. The base I/O addresses and their I/O address ranges
are tabulated below.
Table B-1: I/O addresses for IDE port.
IDE Port Base I/O Address I/O Address Range
Secondary 170H 170H to 177H, 376H to 377H
Tertiary 1E8H (Default) 1E8H to 1EFH
Quaternary 168H 168H to 16FH
