5 ADDRESSING
The MPA-200 occupies a continuous 8 byte block of I/O addresses. For example,
if the base address is set to 300H, then the MPA-200 will occupy address
locations 300H-307H. The base address of the MPA-200 may be set to any of the
first 64 Kbytes (0 - FFFFH) of available I/O address space through the settings of
dip switches SW1 and SW2. SW1 allows the user to select the higher address
signals A15 - A8. SW2 allows the user to select the lower address signals A7 -
A3. The sixth position of SW2 is not used and can be ignored. Figure 2 shows
some examples of different base addresses.
