Does anyone know of a source of information about the hardware
interface for the disk drives which goes into more detail then
the hardware reference manual?  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.
