I need a selector for access a pci card. Under windows 95 ms-dos box a my
program works fine and I can access the card. But when I try the same
program in an ms-dox bos under windows 3.1 or under dos with cwsdpmi the
program always halt at the same place. The call to
__dpmi_physical_address_mapping fail and my program exit. Can somebody help
me, thanks.

here is the piece of code I talk :

int allocate_linear_from_physical(dword physical_addr, dword region_size, 
				  int* selector, dword* linear_addr)
{
long last_addressable_byte = region_size - 1;
union REGS r;

__dpmi_meminfo info;     

  r.w.ax = 0x1686;
  int386(0x2f, &r, &r);
	
  // Vérifie si l'hôte peut rouler DPMI
  if ((r.w.ax != 0x0000)) 
     {
	printf("Error-> Not in protected mode. Exiting ... \n");
	exit(0);
     }	

  info.address = physical_addr;
  info.size = 0x20;	//region_size;

  if (__dpmi_physical_address_mapping(&info) == DPMI_ERROR)
     { 
	printf("Error-> Mapping Pass-Thru Physical Address. Exiting ...\n"); 
	exit(0); 
     }

  *linear_addr = info.address;

   *selector = __dpmi_allocate_ldt_descriptors(1);
 .etc etc etc
