I have not found a way to use LabWindows to query the system BIOS to determine the LPT port setting (i.e. 0x378, 0x278, etc). Is there a way to accomplish this? I would like the utility I develop to do this and store in a variable. Any ideas?

unsigned int address =0;
ReadFromPhysicalMemory (0x408, &address, 2); //low level driver needs to be loaded
