This looks like it's attempting direct port I/O and that isn't 
possible under Win32 - the OS won't let you.

Jonathan Arnold wrote an excellent response to this question so here 
it is (with all credit to Jonathan):

You can't use inport / outport any more.  Win32 is more "protected" 
than that, so it isn't allowed. 

However, you do have a few different options, as have been posted 
here before:

Or EnTech's Port I/O component:

Or, for Win9x only, if you have TASM, you can use the following:

#define outportb(port,val) outb(val,port)

void __fastcall outb(Byte val, WORD port)
{
 asm  out dx,al
}

#define inportb(port) inb(0,port)

Byte __fastcall inb(Byte dummy, WORD port)
{
 asm  in al,dx
}
