I'd like to write a small custom operating system for my amiga, but I'm having a problem getting my driver for the disk to work. I'm more interested in how to use the drive, and less interested in the details of the hardware. If worst comes to worst, I'll disassemble the device driver that comes with the Amiga, but I'd rather not. Commodore, if I became a registered developer, would it be possible for me to get source code to the device driver for the disks? If anyone has source for a disk driver, I'd love to look at it. +------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+ | Michael Wolf | An old Scandinavian quote: | | BITNET: wolf@ucscj.BITNET | "You can lead a herring to water, | | ARPA: wolf@ssyx.ucsc.edu | but you have to walk real fast, | | UUCP: ...ucbvax!ucscc!ssyx!wolf | or else he'll die." | +------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+
