You cannot access hardware directly in win32 programs (or linux programs 
for that matter). PIT access can be replaced with native win32 timer 
routines and UART with the serial communication api. CMOS ram access is 
probably impossible.

1) You cannot access video ram directly in windows (or linux).
2) 0xB8000000 is not a linear pointer so it won't work in 32 bit dos 
programs either. The equivalent linear address is 0xB8000.
