Direct I/O access question
Posted: March 22nd, 2004, 11:46 amMany years ago I did a lot of programming in Turbo Pascal. Recently I have started programming in Delphi and would like to port over some of my old programs.
Turbo Pascal had a predefined array type named "Port[]" (and portw for word length) for direct access to the PC's I/O ports. I can't find an equivalent array type in my Delphi documentation. I haven't actually tried writing any code so maybe it's there and I just don't know about it.
Does anyone know if it exists or otherwise how to do direct I/O access? I'm currently using Delphi 2.0
Thanks in advance,
- Bill
