Subject: Low level (GNAT) Ada?

Hello all,
I'm using GNAT for Windows (actually NT 4 in my case).
I'd like to be able to control some purpose-built devices on the
parallel and serial ports of my PC as well as bus cards. I have searched
hard through the documentation for a library that provides
parallel/serial interfaces but they just don't exist. I haven't even
found basic C-like outb/inb functions.
Everybody keeps saying that Ada is also great for system and low level
programming but it doesn't look like it from the Windows GNAT point of
view.
BTW, does anyone know if it is possible to interface to the Windows DDE
via a GNAT package and vice-versa?
