Don:

Have a look at the __dpmi_map_device_in_memory_block(). It provides
(at least it seems) the support you need to map any physical memory
area onto the virtual address space. After mapping you should be able
to access the memory block via a NEAR ptr. This requires DPMI 1.0, as
it uses the service 0x508.
