Under KL? You will change the name :)? I'll write a dummy stub, i.e. an empty
function named like that, since for now there is no control. I'll start to extract
floppy routines from openbios, and compile a DOS program that access floppy at
will. Then, when things in DOS will work with any floppy, I'll put the stuff inside
/LM, under /LM/IOSK/architecture/IBM-PC/floppy, where, like CK, IBM-PC it's a
symbolic link.
Agree?

:) I am always supposed that Love(coding)>>Love(docs), where >> means "a lot
higher" :).
For me, it's nearly equal. The only thing I don't like, it's that I have little
time available, otherwise I'll code a lot more than I do.

demotasks, well, are demotasks :). CK testing stuff. There is no IOperm(), if I
remember correctly, though...
they are more or less ok for IRQs.
