Re-2: write to and read from a hardware address directly, possible?

[runrev at animabit.de]

Hi Stephen,

There are some hardware tasks (f.e. drivers for special PCI cards to manage relais or OPTOIN cards) which need to communicate through one byte in a hardware address. And the status has to be read fast ... As in Perl it should be possible, but not recommended ...
But it seems not to be possible, because nobody could tell me a solution in runrev.

Thanks, 
Franz

You are looking for a PEEK or POKE type command in Rev.

ummm... I don't think it's advisable to do that 
directly anymore, certainly on macs. Most 
resources on modern hardware are managed.
