TP6 i/o ports on winxp

TP6 i/o ports on winxp
Fri, 06 Oct 2006 06:59:29 GMT
Hi
Is there any chance to use a I/O port using a TP6 compiler
on a WIN XP box?.
With a dallas-maxim device MAX7301 I saw the usage of
a library to access the I/O ports:
" DriverLINX is a registered trademark of Scientific Software Tools,
Inc."
(I saw the files and indicates VB and C examples)
Does anyone use it with TP6-7?

bye

No!

WinXP (and Win2000, NT4, NT3.x) does not allow direct access to I/O ports. You
need (to write) a device driver to access the I/O ports.

And yes, such drivers do already exist. I just don't know their exact
names but google will find them.

You could try Direct-IO http://www.direct-io.com
It is shareware, you can try without buying first.

Are you sure it it possible to access the driver from a 16 bit app?
