    The PIO-48 contains several jumper straps for each port that must be set for proper operation. Address Selection The PIO-48 occupies 8 consecutive I/O locations. Dip-switch SW1 sets the base address for the PIO-48. Be careful when selecting the base address as some selections conflict with existing PC ports. The following table shows several examples that usually do not cause a conflict.
  • Page 9 Wait States The PIO-48 has the option of inserting one 500 nS wait state for each access. This may be required on certain machines with bus clocks in excess of 8 MHz. With the wide variety of machines available, no concrete rules exist concerning wait states.
