you will probably find that even a DOS (excuse me, a "windows console
application") app developed in Visual C++ 6.0 will not let you access the
ports - they are, after all, hardware and the Windows GUI garbage is there
to protect you from having to deal with hardware because it's too difficult
......... Seriously - the hardware is hidden from you and you may have to
develop a device driver monster to let windows expose it to you.
(Yes I hate windows - It's ruined the PC for tight, fast real time (sub 1
second) operations on PC's.)
