I'm posting this question for a friend. Hopefully I'm posting this
to the right place. Please send replies to me via mail, as I do not
normally read these newsgroups. My address is aas@sat.datapoint.com.

What is the easiest way for a protected-mode (386 enhanced) Windows
3.0 application to access a memory mapped device?

How do you make an entry in your virtual machine's Local Descriptor
Table (LDT) to reference a given physical memory location?

Can this be done without writing a Virtual Device Driver?

Thanks in advance for any information,
Adrienne
