When the '186 came out it had dedicated addresses used which were incompatible with the standard PC addresses. I guess they made a version of MS-DOS to be compatible. It wouldn't be a bit issue to reassign addresses, except that a lot of programs talk to it directly rather than going through the OS or BIOS. At least this is what I recall from 40 years ago. -- Rick
