- In the old days writing to ports on your computer was easy; all you had
- to do was use the port[ n ] command.
-
- Delphi no longer supports the port[ n ] command, so you have to use
- functions like:
-
- function ReadPortB( wPort : Word ) : Byte;
- begin
- asm
- mov dx, wPort
- in al, dx
- mov result, al
- end;
- end;
-
- procedure WritePortB( wPort : Word; bValue : Byte );
- begin
- asm
- mov dx, wPort
- mov al, bValue
- out dx, al
- end;
- end;
-
-
-
- Of course, your operating system may not let you write to certain ports,
- specially if you're running on Windows NT.
