Help: _outpw/_inpw

RE: _outpw/_inpw

What's the secret to getting these to work??? I am trying to send an intialization word to a card located in an ISA slot. When I execute either an _outpw or _inpw, the program locks up. Will these commands not read from and write an ISA port? If not what command will? Any suggestions, links, or examples would be greatly appreciated.

If you are trying to do this in a WIN32 OS (NT, 2000, XP) you can't. If you are trying to do this in Win 9x you have to use inline assembly. If you are using DOS and a Borland compiler look at outport() and inport(). For WIN32 apps, see
