Here are tables that will let you figure out the proper switch settings for diferent IO addresses.
The interface uses four consecutive I/O addresses (3xC to 3xF). The switch block located on the board allows you to change the middle digit of the address range (the x in 3xC). Sixteen (16) different I/O address ranges can be used. Some of those, however, might conflict with other devices on your computer (i.e. COM1 uses 3F8 to 3FF). The following table indicates address range that are normally free on many systems, and the ones that are known to be in conflict. It also shows pictures of switch settings for most common configurations.

For I250x, 8 contiguous IO addresses are used. xx0 to xx7.
Usually, one gives the first address in dunord.ini, like 300.
