Not without having to go through virtual memory mapping.
You can do it without using peekpoke functions.
Once you have addresses mmap'ed, or addresses calculated from mmap'ed base 
addresses, you can use them directly. There is example code around.
If stuck check out the ts7200.c file in any of my programs.
