I am interested in writing a game on my Amiga 2000 which does
not run under AmigaDos and is booted directly from floppy.
There seem to a lot of games out there which currently do this.

What type of interface are they using for accessing
the floppy and the machine in general?

By bypassing AmigaDOS they have all the ROM Exec at their disposal;
but how exactly do they access it?

I'd also like to know if the ROM Exec is
the only stuff available at this point.

Thanks bunches,
