Under OS/2 this kind of thing is not so much a problem as a design feature.
Access to hardware under OS/2 is more limited to device drivers - one of
reasons why OS/2 is more secure when multitasking. A straight port from
a DOS program to OS/2 is usually not a simple or a wise thing if you get
into hardware manipulation.

What kind of thing are you trying to achieve with the ins and outs?
