Hi,
I did not exactly understand why it works, but it works!
I have looked at the code too.
It really seams that port-io will change (Linux like).
So I give you the example for Linux and SCO too.
For SCO I wrote a little device driver which behaves like /dev/port
under Linux.
Please notice that the example is a fragment of a library.
