Table 5 provides a map of the upper memory area. Some of these addresses are dedicated to various system devices, such as the system/video
basic input/output system (BIOS). Others are available for use by expansion cards and/or an expanded memory manager (EMM).
When the microprocessor or a program addresses a location within the upper memory area, it is physically addressing a location within one of
these devices.

Table 6 provides a map of memory addresses reserved by the system for peripheral I/O devices. Use the information in Table 6 to determine if the
memory address of an external peripheral (such as a PC Card) conflicts with a memory address reserved by the computer.
Check the documentation of the external I/O device to determine its memory address. If there is a conflict with a memory address reserved by the
computer, change the address of the device.
To view I/O addresses in Windows 98, click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel. Double-click the System icon. Click the
Device Manager tab, and then double-click Computer.
To view I/O addresses in Windows NT, start the Windows NT Diagnostics in the Administrative Tools (Common) folder.
To view I/O addresses in Windows 2000, click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel. Double-click the System icon. Click
the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
