Hello,

I'm writing an interface to an EISA card which sits in a Gateway
computer running WIN95.  I need to write a 0x0001 to a real-mode address
of CC00H:0804H.  Since WIN95 is running in protected-mode, I assume that
I need to buy/write a package for peeking and poking values to real-mode
addresses...  My question is this...  Will the GNAT for WIN95 system
allow me to directly write to a real-mode address and it handles the
nasties of the protected-mode interface?  My hunch is that I cannot just
simply use the System.Address stuff on this platform and must buy/write
an interface package to give me a porthole from protected-mode to
real-mode.  What do you think?

Thanks in advance!
