> As far as I know, no. It's just GCC ported to the PC. If you
want to mess with ISRs, DMAs, and direct PC hardware access, you could
do worse than check out info and links from 
http://www.rt66.com/~brennan/djgpp/
in particular the excellent Allegro library which provides examples
of many types of gnarly PC interface code (and which just might fulfill 
your needs with little added effort)
