couple of questions
im using masm to do this and was wondering if anybody has used this language before to do something like this?
is there any really good documentation on the diffrent hardware ports and commands for them?

The "Art of Assembly" uses MASM as reference assembler. You shouldn't have too many issues with it AFAICT.
As for the other... check
this recent thread.

Someone somewhere probably has. Most people use NASM, FASM, YASM or GAS - mainly because there's more code on the internet for them and they can be ported to your OS later on without paying heaps for a source code licence.

For a general reference, see:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/ralf/ ... files.html
There's more specific information for each specific device, but for this you'd need to specify which specific device you're interested in....
Cheers,

If you have a good text editor, that should support hex mode too. UltraEdit does, TextPad does IIRC. Has the additional benefit of not having to have two editors open.

though HIEW is a DOS editor it seems to be the best Hex editor around internet. Most peoples in hacking scene recommends this
However i also have Hackman Editor which also seems to be pretty good

I found Hex Workshop invaluable, it's surprisingly full of useful features (I don't know if it's meant to be free though).

HIEW is very very good, but the main feature is having both hex and disassembly side-by-side, plus being able to request either at the press of a button. My main objection is both the age (the last free version is over 7 years old) and that it is for DOS only. Might remake it if I want to
