-<title>Input/Output Port Information</title>
-
-<para>This page displays information about the I/O ports.</para>
-
-<para>I/O Ports are memory addresses used by the processor for direct
-communication with a device that has sent an
-interrupt signal to the processor.</para>
-
-<para>The exchange of commands or data between the processor and the device
-takes place through the I/O port address of the device, which is a
- hexadecimal
-number. No two devices can share the same I/O port. Many devices use
- multiple
-I/O port addresses, which are expressed as a range of hexadecimal
-numbers.</para>
-
-<note><para>The exact information displayed is system-dependent. On some
-systems, I/O port information can not yet be displayed.</para></note>
-
-<para>On &Linux;, this information is read from <filename
-class="devicefile">/proc/ioports</filename> which is only available if
-the <filename class="devicefile">/proc</filename> pseudo-filesystem is
-compiled into the kernel. A list of all currently-registered I/O port
-regions that are in use is shown.</para>
-
-<para>The first column is the I/O port (or the range of I/O ports), the
-second column identifies the device that uses these I/O ports.</para>
-
-<para>The user cannot modify any settings on this page.</para>
