Title: Hardware Access in XP
Post by: asmrixstar on May 01, 2006, 03:07:59 AM

I was wondering if anyone had written a dll for accessing the com(rs232) or the game (midi) port
I m looking for something as basic as a program capable of turning and led on and off, seriously!

I believe certain opcodes have been disabled on xp how will this affect any program i write?

thx in advance

Hello asmrixstar, try a forum search for "WinIO."

yeah.. ive got a copy of that and winio but i fear even that is more advanced than what i need! :(
I seriously know nothing about IO access to the ports perhaps that shoould have been my question!
:snooty:
Does anyone know a good reference point for this....

I'm assuming you are asking for information on I/O ports. Ralf Brown's Interrupt List, available here (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ralf/files.html), includes the following lists:

For serial ports specifically, there is a lot of information available here (http://www.lvr.com/serport.htm).

Accessing serial ports under Windows using the API has been discussed here multiple times. Try an advanced search for "serial port" by user "farrier".

Hi to all.
I write bad the English. If I make an error. Excuses me.

Mr. asmrixstar
look here -ww.radasm.com -> projects -> Led-y-Asm.zip
http://www.radasm.com/projects/Led-y-Asm.zip
I made those programs with the help of this forum. (Specially by MichaelW, PaulB, MarkJ, CrisLeslie, Emperor, and others)
Do with them as if they were yours.

They are updated. But I must send them to Mr. KetilO. (Soon)

I hope you can understand me.

Good Luck..
bye ('_').
