Can someone please help me out, im trtying to access ports directly under FreeBSD 2.0R - however when i just include <machine/cpufunc.h> and start merrily port munching, i get a Buss Error. A Linux (heven forbid!) using person i know said that under Linux you had to first 'free' the port from 'protection' - and i imagine that i have to so a reasonably similar thing under FreeBSD. If someone coupld provide me with some info on this i'd be really grateful, as i would be getting rid of one more reason i have to boot DOS now and then. Oh.. and please Email the reply to me, as i rarely read news groups. Thanx in advance. --- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Paul Gardner-Stephen USENET: gardners@ist.flinders.edu.au | | BBS: Fishbowl +61 8 2771361 v.42, 14k4 | | 64NET Author Voice: +61 8 2777479 +9:30 GMT | | C64 Coder Snail: 1 Hurst St,Morphettville SA 5043 | | Highlander/FairLight Australia. | | IRC-Nick: Highlandr | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Compiler error: Windoze=efficiency (Incompatible assignment of 'efficiency' to type MicroSoft.Product)
