Hi. I'm trying to do I/O to my harddisk device, "overdrive.device". What steps do I have to take to access a presumably previously open device? Is there a pre-existing req struct and/or port I should be using? I've been following the example code in RKM for the "trackdisk.device", replacing every "ext" thing with its "std" equivalent. OpenDevice returns -1. I can open the printer and gameport however. I'm using Manx 3.6a. What do programs like "diskx" do? Also, where can I find the ".h" files that describe FFS structures. Documentation too..., the LATEST RKM's (mine are the first rev.)? HELP HELP HELP, THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!
