Microsofts Quickbasic 4.5 had an IN, and OUT, command. Useful as I used them to interface with an old EISA i/o interface card. Is PBs 'PeekB()' and PokeB() commands equivalent? If they are, in what format format should the be specified. i.e Hex, Binary etc., Excuse the (possibly) obvious questions.. I have looked through the forums but couldn't find anything on this topic. Thanks.

Forget IN and Out under new Window'OS's(NT,2000 and XP) .They did not work anymore.
Peek and Poke are working with User-Memory.If you want to set/get the HarwarePorts(In/Out)(For example the speaker or the LPT-Port) you can access the Ports with a external DLL and system-driver.I use the free WINIO.It works great.You can download at:
