- WinIo v1.2
- Direct Hardware Access Under Windows 9x/NT/2000

-
- The WinIo library allows 32-bit Windows applications to directly
- access I/O ports and physical memory. It bypasses Windows protection
- mechanisms by using a combination of a kernel-mode device driver and
- several low-level programming techniques.
-
- Under Windows NT, the WinIo library can only be used by applications
- that have administrative privileges. If the user is not logged on as
- an administrator, the WinIo DLL is unable to install and activate the
- WinIo driver. It is possible to overcome this limitation by installing
- the driver once through an administrative account. In that case, however,
- the ShutdownWinIo function must not be called before the application
- is terminated, since this function removes the WinIo driver from the
- system's registry.
