      From: nedbrek@nospicedham.gmail.com              In ring 3, you'll seg fault.              In ring 0, you should get all ones (IIRC). The transaction goes down the ISA       bus and times out.              My knowledge is pretty dated. It's possible chipsets that have dropped support       for ISA will behave differently.              Those addresses should resolve to uncacheable, so there will be a pretty hefty       performance penalty in any case.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
