Does anybody know how to access specific physical memory address when
programming in windows and/or Actor?

Some devices are configured to use a block of memory at specific address 
(like a 64k segment starting at d000:0 for a frame grabber's frame buffer).
Does window 3.0 in 386 enhenced mode manage all the free memory address between
a000:0 and ffff:0. How does one instruct win3.0's memory manager stay out of
the d000 segment, and how does a process gain access to this specific block of
memory space thru the memory manager? And how can I access d000:0 in Actor 3.0?

Thanks in advance
