    I am trying to access shared memory on an ISA bus card, under Windows XP. Is there any simple way to do this in C? I would be working in VS6 since I have it installed on a spare machine, I have not done any real software work for years. I had a similar problem years ago, where I wanted to access I/O ports on an ISA bus card, and found InpOut32.dll which provides direct port access under Windows XP. Wonderful stuff. But is there anything similar that allows physical memory access? From what I remember, there should be no problem if I run under Windows 95 or 98, right? Just set a pointer to the address I want and read or write freely, or does Win95 / Win98 protect some memory areas? I'd hate to have to dig up MSVC 1.52C, to compile the program for DOS!
