Hi there,

does anybody know how I can read a value from a specific memory address?

I want to read a value that is stored on (Real-Mode-)Address: F000:0000
And another value from e. g. 0x03847384 (a 32 bit memory address).

is the address the same as the value from a pointer?

i.e.:

char *a;
a=(char *)0x03847384

Does a then point to this specific memory address?
Why not?
Why do I get an error sometimes?
Please help me!

Best regards and thank you for your help in advance,

Tom
