Whatdoyoumean???? :-) Granted - it's not perfect - but it was what I needed at the time. :) There are some design limitations as well. It uses ROM routines without a page wrapper, hence it requires ROM to be page in at all times. However, it did the trick in the shortest amount of time. I have been contemplaing improving the SAM support, but I'm not entirely sure what is needed and how to do it. Take graphics for instance; There is no "standard C" way of switching graphics modes, hence only mode 1 graphics is supported. My hope was that as people started using it, input and suggestions could form. The best way would be to have a standard Z88 way of doing this.....or just make the routines mode independent. :) I'm open to suggestions. -Frode -- ^ Frode Tennebø | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^ | Ericsson AS | Isebakkeveien 49 | | N-1788 Halden | Phone: +47 45 24 99 39 | | with Standard.Disclaimer; use Standard.Disclaimer; |
