Appendix D. Sample Configuration Record for ABC Ethernet Card

The ABC card does not require any DMA or memory resources. It requires one interrupt channel (any IRQ) and requires a single I/O port in the 0x200 - 0x3E0 range (0x10 bytes aligned). The card doesn't have any additional on-board information. The vendor ID of ABC is "ABC." The vendor assigned product number for this card is "905", it's revision level is "0" and the serial # is 0x8C123456. The card has only one logical device, an Ethernet controller. There are no compatible devices with this logical device. The following record should be returned by the card during the identification phase:
