UserPort Description
This program solves the problem of impossibilities Direct Access to ports on the NT system. Use a proprietary driver for access to Portum.With it you can use programs like the PortMon UserPort.SYS is a kernel mode driver for Windows NT/2000 that gives usermode programs access to I/O Ports. This makes it possible to access hardware directly from a normal executable in the same way as under Windows 95/98/ME. This driver does not work on Windows 95/98/ME and there is really no need to run it anyway because I/O ports are always granted to usermode programs on these operating systems. The driver can be used for the following purposes: • To run software on Windows NT/2000 that normally only runs on Windows 95/98/ME. • To easily access hardware like the Parallel port and other I/O ports. So what’s the drawbacks with this wonderful software? Microsoft has for security reasons prohibited usermode access to I/O ports. Opening up I/O ports creates a big security hole in your system. You should therefore carefully set the grant lists to only give usermode access to the specific I/O ports you need. The Default values opens up a wide range of I/O ports and you should narrow it down
