Appendix B. System address maps
The following charts represent how the hard disk stores different types of
information. Address ranges and byte sizes are approximate.
System memory map
The first 640 KB of system board RAM is mapped starting at address hex 0000000. A
256 byte area and a 1 KB area of this RAM are reserved for BIOS data areas. Memory
can be mapped differently if POST detects an error.
