I've found that accessing the I/O ports on Windows 9x is rather easy, 
but with Windows NT/2000 input and output instructions are privileged 
and the OS just pulls the plug on your program. I found IO.DLL which is 
supposed to provide I/O port access but it causes an illegal page fault 
when called from an Ada task.

Does anyone know of an Ada solution to accessing I/O ports on Windows 
NT/2000?
