Poking unallocated memory

Greetings, My application requires direct access to the top of memory space, near the 4 GB limit (where the BIOS resides). As one might expect, the CauseWay DOS extender does not allow this, and aborts with a protection fault. If there was actually memory in this area, maybe I could find a way to allocate it first, and then poke it. But this is just memory "space", not actual memory. Any ideas? Thanks, -Ben
