Hi All,

I need to access from 0xFFFC:0000 to 0xFFFF:FFFF physical addess to
program a Flash device but when I try to map the address 0xFFFF:F000 to
0xFFFF:FFFF  my program crash !!!!

I use this code for map physical address to linear memory

int selector;
__dpmi_meminfo mem;

mem.address = 0xFFFF0000L;
mem.size = 0x10000;

 //* Mapping physical address...
 if ( __dpmi_physical_address_mapping( &mem ) == -1 )
     printf ( "\nERR: __dpmi_physical_address_mapping" ) ;

 //* Create new selector to access physical address
selector = __dpmi_allocate_ldt_descriptors ( 1 ) ;
 if ( *selector == -1 )
     printf ( "\nERR:  __dpmi_allocate_ldt_descriptors\n" ) ;

 //* Set current base segment
 if ( __dpmi_set_segment_base_address ( selector, mem.address ) == -1 )
     printf ( "\nERR:  __dpmi_set_segment_base_address\n" ) ;

 //* Set segment limit
 if ( __dpmi_set_segment_limit ( selector, mem.size - 1 ) == -1 )
     printf ( "\nERR:  __dpmi_set_segment_limit\n" ) ;


and access the location :

byte_read = _farpeekb ( selector, offset ) ;

at this time my program crash !!!!

Bye Marco

N.B.
If I run my program in a DOS window under Win98 all is OK !!!!
