+mapdev.vxd
+~~~~~~~~~~
+mapdev.vxd - provides direct hardware access under Win9x.
+install: Just copy it into %WINDOWS%\system folder and reboot.
+note: This driver won't work under NT-based systems
+(like WinNT, Win2000 and even WinME and WinXP due importing NT things).

+
+I posted an answer to your question in the newsgroup. I also have
+additional information for you.
+
+I can email you the binary for VxD which does exactly what you need:
+given a physical address, returns a pointer that can be used by a
+Win32 application. I'll also give you source for a Win32 app which
+uses the VxD to read an area of physical memory.
+
+I don't offer this solution to everyone, since in most cases the
+proper solution is for them to write a VxD which interacts with their
+hardware, rather than simply getting a pointer to the hardware and
+interacting with it from an application.
+
+However, in your case, you're just using a VxD as a tool to get your
+Linux driver working...you shouldn't have to write a VxD for this :-)
+
+Let me know if you're interested.
+===============================================================================
+Hello Karen
+
+A long time ago, you sent me your VXD for reading an area of physical
+memory under Win32, so I could make register dumps of the graphic
+chip. Did I ever mention, that it works perfectly for me?
+
+Why I contact you is, that I really would like to offer this solution
+to all XFree86 members, so that it will be much easier in the future
+for XFree86 to develop drivers for graphic boards.
+
+Can I count with your agreement? Would you like to add a special
+copyright to your software?
+
+Stefan
