Interrupts
Important
If you disable an IDE controller to free the
interrupt for that controller, you must
physically unplug the IDE cable from the
system board. Simply disabling the drive
by configuring the BIOS option does not
make the interrupt available.
The following table reflects a typical configuration, but you can change these
interrupts. Use this information to determine how to program each interrupt.
Address Range (hex) Amount Function
0 to 07FFFFh 640 KB DOS region, base system memory
0A0000h to 0BFFFFh 128 KB Video or SMM memory
0C0000h and 0DFFFFh 128 KB Expansion card BIOS and buffer area
0E0000h to 0FFFFFh 128 KB System BIOS
0E0000h to 0EFFFFh 2 MB Extended system BIOS
FC000000h to FFFFFFFFh 64 MB PCI memory space
