I am very surpised that noone will [or can] talk to me about how to really talk to the 2090 hard drive controller when AmigaDOS has been killed. Geez. I need only 4 lines of code showing me how to toggle states into it, never knew that C-A ran their Amiga source code tracking like Fort Knox. The guys who built the thing don't answer their mail, requests to other people at C-A go unanswered, or "we can't help you", nobody on UseNet knows anything.. this is worse than the DES chip! I would really like to get Minix off the ground. Come on guys, free Unix for the Amiga! No 68020 needed! (ok, it's slow.) Nobody cares?? I'm very dissapointed. <tdr.

The A500/A2000 Tech Ref Manual has the information you need. It's available from CATS for $40 US. It isn't source code, but it does tell you how the disk controller works, and how you tickle it. -larry -- Van Roy's Law: An unbreakable toy is useful for breaking other toys. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca or uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
