Hi all,

Ok I hope this is the right list for this. If anyone would know the
answer to this question, it'd be here. Ok I am sorta a linux programming
newbie but have experience with dos. I wish to be able to access ports
directly in Linux like the comports, paralel ports, soundcard, etc. In
dos assembly, you would just use:
mov al,xxh ; xx = a number
out al, portnum ; portnum = the hardware port to write to.

Is this even possible using Linux.
