I would like to make Asynchronous (sp?) floppy IO calls in an application that I'm writing (using SendIO perhaps) but I also want the files to be Amiga-DOS compatible. Does IO source code exist for making AReads and AWrites so I don't have to write file system managment code as well? Steve Steir (sorry, NCS - No Cute Signature)

Possible, but almost as tricky as writing an FS. I would use asynchronous packets sent to the filesystem. Take a look at the DOS technical reference manual and libraries/dosextens.h. I believe you could scarf some code from some fish disk programs that implement SendPacket(), etc. -- Randell Jesup, Commodore Engineering {uunet|rutgers|allegra}!cbmvax!jesup
