hi all,

Sorry for cross posting, but perhaps hackers is a better list than multimedia
for this topic.

i am trying to port my old assembler soft for Dos to FreeBSD.
i need to write and read directly to the midi and scsi device.
when i try something like this i receive a sigbus error

SORRY, i am NOT nor a C nor a FreeBSD expert!!!
all i know is Assembly language!

i made some search in the devel handbook and did not found the solution.
What is wrong here?
Can you enlight me please?


Many thanks in advance and bests regards

Raoul
