Windows blocks access to hardware I/O ports, and the usual languages used for application programming don't include commands to accomplish this. In the modern systems this is done by a driver, which handles all the low level hardware stuff and exposes the results to Windows for an application to use. Check MSDN for the Windows DDK, if it's still available. If you're up to the challenge you can write your own. Personally, I gave up being that smart years ago...:-D
