Apologies for what was perhaps a misleading initial enquiry. Maybe
there is a quick answer to this which I have missed, I've only just
subscribed to the mail list.

I have a (frame grabber) board at address 0xa00000 which I need to read
and write to. This being outwith the first 1 Meg of physical memory
the above formula doesn't work. Is it possible to (easily) set pointers
to physical memory within source to be compiled by gpp? Alternatively
can the peek/poke memput/get functions in the extender be accessed
from within the program?

Thanks in advance
Hamish
