> Unless those drivers just open up access to some I/O ports from within kernel. Yes - that's what i mean. We only need the possibility to access the I/O ports in NT+ emulations. It seems that most of the applications are using this free driver: http://lcdhype.condense.de/stuff/lcdhype/portdriver_custom.zip And in LCDHype this two functions are used: Code: UCHAR DLPORT_API DlPortReadPortUchar( IN ULONG Port ); VOID DLPORT_API DlPortWritePortUchar( IN ULONG Port, IN UCHAR Value ); Here we only need a workaround to implement this two access methods. With this driver or with an own one. Or with a workaround. Is it possible to get direct access to /dev/lp0 in wine in NT+ emulations? Of course i understand that it is to much work to implement this I/O kernel stuff for only some applications who need this. But on the other hand I/O access in wine is only possible for applications which are designed below NT+ now. That's really not the standard 2010. And the question is which applications are interesting to run in wine? >From my experience this are applications i don't get in linux, because they are very special. And all this applications which are driving special hardware are typical for this.
