   Stefan, you can still go directly to the hardware using Jan Axelson's
"inpout32.dll" and VBasic. This adds inp() and outp() functions. I use this
DLL in a variety of projects with VBasic and PC ports. To get the DLL, and
instructions on using it, go to:

   Since other's have requested the C source and you know C, see my reply to
Thomas Fleckenstein. That will show you how to talk to the serial port and
you can use the above functions to access the hardware registers.
