VideoScape 3d

Has anyone successfully written a frame controller driver that opens the "frame-control" and "frame-reply" ports that VideoScape 3d requires to communicate with that software? I have been trying and trying for several months now to write a driver for the frame controller hardware I built and VideoScape 3d keeps going to sleep after my driver sends the ReplyMsg down the reply port – an input event occuring in the VideoScape window causes it to "wake up" again, but that's not very autonomous, as it is supposed to be. What could I be doing wrong? I've written a test program that sends messages to these ports to test the frame driver, and it works fine there. Is there something funny about the way VS3d handles it's msgports in v. 1.0? In any case, does anyone have assembly or C source that opens up these two ports, and successfully communicates with VS3d? Maybe printing a message "Got a msg!" when it gets a message and "Sent a reply!" when it sends a reply with VideoScape. If not, how about source for just two programs that can communicate with each other so I can check to make sure I am doing this right. Help!!!
