Well, I have about given up on trying to get into amiga.dev/cert over on Bix. Been trying since then end of november to get into that section, but guess the sysops either don't care or don't have the time to get the info they need from CBM Canada. Need information on a couple of items. First, has there been any work on the printer device in wb 2.1 or 3.0? My 2.04 printer device is 35.603 and want to know if CBM has done anything with this for 3.0 to allow printing more than 4096 colors. If so, what docs, disks, etc, do I need to order to get the info and new pritner driver examples? Second, what docs/what ever give good information on the Zorro 3 bus and implementing a PIC with DMA capabilities for same? Building a Zorro 2 DMA controller is a piece of cake, but after reading Dave's article way back when in the late AWTJ, implementing a DMAC on a pic sounds scary! Here it is, the end of March, and CBM Canada still hasn't mailed out the jan/feb AmigaMail! 73, Kelly
