Dear netters,

I want to write code that would access to Local I/O Devices directly. For
example, I want to read LANCE registers. As they are not mapped into the
user's space in SysV/68V3R6, I always get memory protection error (signal 11). 
Is there a way to accomplish this task. It is possible, in SunOS for example,
to map those locations into the user space via system calls. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

rasit
