      From: gids.rs@sasktel.net              > Hi Rob,        > Smartport deals with devices, not slots/drives.        > Is your mapping done once ProDOS 8 is loaded?        > Antoine              Right. But even the Smartport would need to use the softswitches to access a       slot card. Which should mean there has to be a mapping of some kind to know       which slot a device is in. I have come across an instance where it would be a       benefit to be able        to translate between the two.              As far as I know the mapping has nothing to do with Prodos 8. If you follow       the routine at $C70D (entry to the Smartport), it ends in COP 82. This       co-processor routine must have a routine to map a slot to a device number.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
