- Win32 is a secured OS. Among other things, this means that you cannot
- write directly to any I/O ports, because that might interfere with the
- system's overall stability and drivers already using those ports. One
- way of getting access to them is to write your own device driver,
- which alas is quite a task. And, you'll need the Win32 DDK for doing
- it.
