What OS are you using? You do realize that the later MS OSes don't
allow arbitrary program access to the IO ports. Also, the fact you get
an Access violation sounds more like you are trying to access an illegal
RAM address. You're sure you are not trying to access a port IO address
as if it was a memory address, right?
