- Hello,
- I need some help taking to an 8 bit driver card. The card was design to drive
- a relay matrix for some testing at work. We had it running fine on window 3.1 and it
- was decided that we should upgrade to a 32 bit operating system (NT) to increase our
- speed for real time testing. I tried to recompile the DLL that we use to talk to the
- driver card to 32 bit, but the compiler did not like the outp() function I was using to
- write to data to the card. I am very new to C++ programming and this problem was
- like running into a wall. I found out that outp() is a 16 bit function and is not portable
- to NT. Does anyone know how I go about taking to hardware in a Windows NT
- environment? Any help will be appreciated.
