- Subject: Help wanted: Addressing PCI memory-mapped device above 16mB

- We have just finished developing a PCI card which gets
- memory mapped in to memory-space above the 1mB limit
- imposed by real mode programming.
-
- What I would like to know is if there is an easy way to
- address this memory ie. is there a compiler out there that will
- take care of protected mode for you, whether it is possible
- to use a memory manager etc. If all else fails, it looks
- like I will have to resort to asembly code, and unfortunately
- I just don't have the time to do this :(
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please email replies
- to vansoegi@elec.canterbury.ac.nz.

- Cheers G.
