PORTIO

Hi, All,

I need a Win-XP Driver that can give I/O port access to my C++ process.

Where can I find it such a driver ? I have looked for it in the Win XP DDK
and I have found nothing similar to what I need.

Regards,

Antonio

No, you don’t.

What are you trying to accomplish? What ports? Ports already used by the
OS or other device drivers must not touched except by the owning driver.
Most ports are accessed in sequence with other or the same port using
multiple IO requests, so how can you work with ports that can be touched
between your accesses. Write a driver if you own the device.

Well, .br ain’t down in Ohio. People down there may have needs that do not
necessarily map to the reality north of the border. Still the question is a
good one, Antonio, what are you trying to accomplish ? There may be an
easier way of doing it than driving the iron. Not that I’m that bashful
about doing it, hey, I make my living out of bypassing or outright ignoring
OS’s ! Still, no point doing things that don’t need to be done.

Alberto.
