- I have a very-simple memory mapped input board that needs to be displayed
- by a Windows application.
-
- What's the simplest way to get at it ? Not real-time , no-interrupts.
-
- I can't just point at it, it's not there. I've tried to write a DOS TSR
- that would pass me parts of the data via registers from a software
- interrupt, but I get a General Protection Fault. If I run a dos app
- under WINDOWS IT WORKS ? The TSR was loaded via the WINSTART.BAT method.
-
- I really think this is too simple to have to wade through the DDK manuals
- (even tho I did a bit, with no obvious answer) and write a DEVICE DRIVER.
-
- Why doesn't my Borland 3.0 manual have any references or examples of how
- to do either of these things ?
-
- I'm sure neophite Windows programmers ask this question all the time, but
- I have not been able to find the FAQ on this topic.
-
- Can someone please point me at some references or a simple piece of
- example source code or the FAQ location where this answer could be found.
