Most PC/104-Plus (PCI +ISA) or PC/104 (ISA only) expansion modules will work, but be sure to
check the requirements of your PC/104 card against the list above.
ISA I/O S
UPPORT
Both 8-bit and 16-bit I/O cycles are supported, but for 16-bit cycles the PC/104 (ISA) module
must be 16-bit capable and must assert IOCS16#.
Table 18 lists the I/O ranges available on the ISA bus unless there is a device claiming the range
on the LPC or PCI bus. The FPGA on the EPM-31 uses I/O addresses 0xC80-0xCBF and, if
enabled, the FPGA has two COM ports that can be configured in the BIOS Setup utility to map
to various address ranges.
By default, the two COM ports in the FPGA are enabled and occupy the I/O address ranges of
0x3F8-0x3FF and 0x2F8-0x2FF. The following are the I/O address ranges available on the ISA
bus when the BIOS is configured to factory defaults.
0x0 – 0x1F
0x22 – 0x23
0x26 – 0x27
0x2A – 0x2B
0x2E – 0x2F
0x32 – 0x33
0x36 – 0x37
0x3A – 0x3B
Assuming the COM ports in the FPGA are disabled, the available I/O base addresses for COM
ports on the ISA bus are as follows:
0x200
0x208
0x220
Each COM port in the FPGA that is enabled will use one of these I/O base addresses and, in that
case, that 8 byte I/O range will not be available on the ISA bus. PCI devices may be assigned I/O
space, but that usually occurs at I/O address 0x1000 or higher so as to not conflict with legacy
I/O devices.

The following memory addresses are available on the ISA bus:
