- Thanks for the information Clive, but you forgot to mention that the routine
- should exit with
-
- LDMFD R13!,{PC}
-
- which caused me a few problems ;-)
-
- If anyone's interested I've got it working. I hacked the Free module, replacing
- SCSI calls with IDE calls, and also changing the filing system number (which
- was why it didn't work before). I also hacked the RISC Development's IDEfiler
- module, so that it ran Showfree rather than Free.
-
- The alterations are really quite simple, only four words needed to be changed
- in the Free module, and one word, with some stuff tacked onto the end of the
- IDEFSfiler module. If anyone's interested I can send more details (I don't
- think posting the hacked modules is a copyright-friendly idea).
-
- Paul.
