Season's greetings, everyone!

A quick question: has someone been able to successfully use the DEV_
device driver on the Q-emuLator? If "yes", how?

I downloaded the driver from Dilwyn's site but when I lrespr the
dev_rext extension I get the error message "not implemented" while
using the JS ROM image. Also tried Minerva 1.97 but no joy with that
ROM, either.

I also tried the REDIRECT extension to get a similar thing (DEV1_ ->
MDV7_) going but it doesn't quite seem to fit the bill since it won't
expand arbitrary additions to the alias. I.e if I do this:
REDIRECT DEV1_ TO MDV7_

I can do:
DIR DEV1_
and I correctly get the directory listing of MDV7_

but I can't do:
WSTAT DEV1_A_
Since the redirect driver only does a specific match of an alias, not
a "begins with" - the result being that wstat tries to stat a file
named "dev1_a_" in the current data_use destination.

Are there any other options to get a virtual device that I can point
to an arbitrary destination working on the Q-emuLator?

Cheers,
Petri
