You will be able to peek and poke any memory location in memory as long as it does not interfer with DOS I/O or DOS BIOS or the DOS ( causeway ) extender. In other words it will depend on where you map your hardware. You should be able to use the DOS32 that comes with win98, but any user will have to have his special hardware mapped properly. Bernie We go into high memory and find little areas (256 or 512 bytes at a time) not used by the operating system. Then we just set our board for those addresses. That's the only memory in the system that's stable so you can peek and poke all you want and you always hit the right bit. Each installation is unique so no big deal. I'll give the DOS32 that came with Windows a shot.
