It is probably being used in the same way as port 0xED. Some BIOSes
use that address a a "IO delay" port (or possibly pseudo-serializing).
They use this port instead of 0x80 so they don't contaminate their
port 80 cards display. A write to this port will give them a ~1us
delay. See some information in this thread:
