What is it?

ACMEview is a simple utility to access physical memory under WINNT 4.0 and WIN2K.
You may view and edit memory, and save blocks of memory to a binary file.
This is useful for debugging hardware and device drivers by viewing memory 
mapped hardware registers and buffers.

To use:

No installation is necessary. You must execute AcmeView.exe program on a 
local hard drive. You must have administrator privileges. You must have 
the mapmem.sys driver in the same directory as AcmeView. 


Find the physical address of your device using device manager. 
Select FILE -> View physical memory. Enter the address and length of the 
devices registers. A window will appear with the registers displayed in hex 
format. To edit a register, double click on it, type in a new value and press
<enter>. Double click on the address column to change the address (restricted 
to the mapped range). Under view is a setting for refresh timer for updating 
the registers automatically.

BE CAREFULL: Some devices will respond by simply READING its registers.

To save to a binary file: Click SAVE AS

Enjoy.
