Has anyone actually received, and is using, the SDB? Manx told us it is backordered and that we'd get ours in another week or so.... This implies lots of people have it.

< wouldn't you like to be a line-eater, too?? > I would like to converse with anyone who has had any success with developing a device driver with SDB, more particularly, with the use of the ld and ax commands. I'm developing a disk driver, and every time I try to load the driver's symbols, I get a "Can't open mydev.device!" error. One thing I have noticed is that when I issue the "ld mydev" command, the driver's initialization routine gets called, even if I've already issued an OpenDevice, as the manual implies must be done first. My OpenDevice call results in execution of the initialization routine, then the "ld mydev" command calls it again with a different address for the device structure. This doesn't sound right. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I've been fighting this one for the past week or more.

I have a slight problem with Manx's SDB. When I have a program loaded in SDB
in source mode, (program loaded from ram:), and try to resave the program
from my text editor (say, after correcting an error SDB helped me find), the
editor can't because SDB has a hold (lock?) on it, presumably. Can I unload
the program from SDB without exiting SDB, or somehow get around this problem?
Thanx in advance.

Okay, now don't laugh but I need to write a program in amiga Basic (I said don't laugh!). Because of things beyond my controll I have to program in basic, My problem is that the programs output is going to be Genlocked over an external video signal... So HOW DO I GET RID OF THAT STUPID BASIC BORDER? Even with all the gadgets off and no title the border exist (about a pixel thick) and if I change it's color to match the backgroud it doesn't matter because the genlock picks out palette 0 to be transparent and the Border is palette 2! Should I use the Intuition library to create another boarder over the existing one (useing palette 0)? Will this work? Will I not beable to create a border large enough to cover the old? Please give me some help with this project!! I can't read this news group So if you have an idea how I should do this reply to: Ins_asmf@jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU Thanks alot, please hurry My account expires soon! Sean Farquharson
