He might have this specific need, but he still will not be able to do
so since there is no such thing as an ISR in a WinXX environment.

The only way will be to write a device driver. Personally I feel <g> that
ISR's are a poor excuse for a proper device driver.

Well, I am most curious which C tools he is using. If it can be done in C,
it can be done in Ada too.
