3.8.9 Onboard Serial Port 1
Normally, the main board I/O chips will occupy a certain portion
of memory space. For each I/O device the computer provides an
I/O address. The more devices attached the more address
needed to organize the memory storage areas. If all the I/O
devices were run through the same address, your devices would
come to a near halt. By providing the end user with four serial
ports this allows devices to run more efficiently if needed. Also
the corresponding interrupt needs to be selected.
