Good Luck.  Muck of what you need is only available in assembly language.
Not only do you need to do read and writes to the hardware ports (which 
most languages will do) you have to be able to execute the IRET instruction.

If you are still interested, drop a note and I will attempt to explain.
By then I should be able to find my 80xxx reference manual.
