Hi, Some pcmcia device works only with lower ioport ( ioport < 0x300 ) and does not work with higher ioport ( ioport > 0x400 ).
Actually, it is difficult to find unused ioport in this lower area. One solution is to use PNP BIOS to get used ioport. but pre-1995 system does not have PNP BIOS. I'm not sure the recent system have PNP BIOS. Another solution is to use ACPI BIOS. but pre-1998 system does not have ACPI BIOS. ISA slot card is no longer sold in the PC store, but on-board legacy devices still use this lower ioport.
