In Australia, I am explicitly legally permitted to reverse engineer stuff and write my own. Would a web page with a disassembly of the module help anyone? Can anyone suggest a good disassembler? LDasm (output from same on web at http://www.cyberknights.com.au/nForce/) seems a bit... primitive compared with the Alpha Micro ones I was using a couple of decades ago. Can anyone suggest an existing driver which would make a good framework to base a re-engineered driver on? Cheers; Leon
