Charles Hacker's UseNet Post with example

// Note: PortIn and PortOut will work in Windows 95, but will NOT work
// under Windows NT.

FUNCTION PortIn(IOport: WORD): BYTE; ASSEMBLER; REGISTER;
ASM
MOV DX,AX
IN AL,DX
END;

PROCEDURE PortOut(IOport: WORD; Value: BYTE); ASSEMBLER; REGISTER;
ASM
XCHG DX,AX

Registry

Serial ports known to Windows are listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Hardware/DeviceMap/SerialComm in Win 98 and in a similar location in Win NT. This list doesn't necessarily reflect the physical ports, but is identical to the Conrol Panel list. (adapted form UseNet post by "RoseX")
