Others have commented that you should write in assembler to 
do low-level memory accesses, but keep in mind that you don't
really need to leave Ada to use assembly language:  just use
machine-code insertions!   It's for this kind of application
that Ada provides machine_code.  Now if your compiler does not 
support machine code then you're out of luck, but a number of 
good Ada compilers do.
