-
- I've written a driver based on information gleaned by disassembling the
- on-board BIOS. It conforms (pretty much) to the CMC Targa interface spec
- and comes with a bus peeking program. Unfortunately, it has the nasty
- tendency of locking up during large transfers, but you might find it useful
- for playing around (or maybe fixing). MASM source is included.
-
- It's available via anonymous ftp from ccu.umanitoba.ca as file
- pub/pc/fdomdr0.zip. There are a couple other Future Domain information files
- and programs in that directory as well (named fd*.zip).
-
- I also have Pioneer's ASPI driver for Future Domain, but there is no
- indication that it may be copied freely. Perhaps someone can contact Pioneer
- and find out.
