There is no such thing as "port I/O" in C. In fact, the language does
not provide any access to hardware at all. And there is no such
header as conio.h in C. If a compiler provides one it is a 100%
completely non-standard extension, and what it might contain is
completely different from one compiler to the next.

As a matter of fact, there is no current marketed Windows operating
system that even allows an application program any access to hardware
ports. The OS will terminate the application the minute it tries to
do so.

But none of this is about C, it is completely about the hardware of
the Intel x86 processors and the Windows operating system. You need
to ask about this in a Windows group, like one of those in the
news:comp.os.ms-windows.win32.* family.
