The touch screen driver communicates with this device through direct I/O. Note: Serial Port D can only be used as an RS-232 read/write port for the following conditions: v Serial Port D function in BIOS setup is set to VFD/RS-232 enabled v No internal VFD is attached Each serial port is configured with a static base I/O address and IRQ. By default, BIOS setup enables all serial ports to be functional. However, if the need arises, you can configure the serial ports with a custom base I/O address and IRQ from Integrated Peripherals in BIOS setup. Use caution when assigning COM ports, new base I/O addresses, and IRQs to prevent conflicts. Upper memory map and EMM386.exe configuration The SurePOS 500 Model 514 provides 32K of upper memory for usage by applications. You must use the EMM386.exe to access this memory.
