The NSC6001 offers a more elegant, centralized solution. Instead of relying on the legacy card’s primitive configuration, the motherboard’s firmware (UEFI/BIOS) hard-codes the reality into the ACPI DSDT (Differentiated System Description Table). The ACPI device node for NSC6001 contains specific _CRS (Current Resource Settings) methods that tell the OS: "The legacy sound card is at I/O port 0x220, IRQ 5. The industrial I/O card is at memory 0xD0000, IRQ 10." The NSC6001 offers a more elegant, centralized solution
