Edit Input/Output Range in Win 98 SE
When changing the settings, the operating system will inform the user of any resource conflicts. If
there are resource conflicts, it is necessary to compare the available resources to those on the jumpers,
and select a configuration that is compatible. If all configurations have a resource conflict, then the
user will have to reconfigure or remove another card to free up some resources. This is most likely to
happen with IRQs, as they can be scarce.
Note: The “Input/Output Range” is used to assign a communication address to the controller. This
address is given in hexadecimal, which means the user should use the scientific calculator in
Start\Programs\Accessories to convert the decimal address desired into its hexadecimal equivalent.
The user can just enter a single hexidecimal number into the ‘Value:’ box and the OS will assign an
I/O range to it.
6b. In Win 2000, the procedure is the same except the user has the opportunity to set
resources/examine conflicts without rebooting first. Highlight the “Interrupt Request” and
“Input/Output Range” individually and select ‘Change Setting…’ to make the appropriate adjustments.
Similar to Windows 98, the “Input/Output Range” must be assigned as a hexadecimal number.
