Ah ok, thx for clearing that up for me, at least addition of
addresses worked the way I thought. What I am also confussed about is
HOW this works.
For instance, 0x240 expands to 0000 0010 0100 0000 in binary
(note... I have put the spaces in for readability purposes).
Now... how does the computer store a "value" in this address space?
Also.. as I said earlier, 0x240 expands to 0000 0010 0100 0000.
So... if you say something like writeb(value, io + 3), then you are
writing a value to 0000 0010 0100 0011 instead of the orginal 0x240, which
is what you want to do... but highly confusses me on how it works.
Thanks alot
