Windows what?

If you are talking 9x or NT, you can't do that. Those OS's don't allow
direct access to the hardware. You have to do it using Win32 calls.

If you are talking 3.11, it should probably work. But even there I
suspect there are systems calls you should be using instead. There might
be a way to do it using the DOS subsystem in Win9x, but that's probably
not what you want to do.

This is really an OS question, not an Ada question.
