I think the access to memory mapped devices is more simple
in DJGPP v1. I can simply use 0xE0000000 linear address instead
of manipulating __dpmi_physical_address_mapping and other DPMI
functions. I understand that DJGPP v2 is DPMI only environment
and such mapping is not possible but I have question:
Is the access to memory mapped device limited only by that
hardware or by the compiler also - that is:

should the access to memory mapped device be faster/slower or
the same comparing DJGPP v1 and DJGPP v2.

Thank you !
