Message-ID: <2321@media-lab.MEDIA.MIT.EDU> Date: 3 May 90 02:31:05 GMT Reply-To: lambmc@ese.essex.ac.uk Distribution: usa Organization: MIT Media Lab, Cambridge MA Lines: 48 This was sent to me by an Amigan in France, who asked me to post it in the USA for him. He asks if anyone has answers for him, to email them to lambmc@ese.essex.ac.uk directly, which is his new address (his system administrator murdered his previous account... don't ask me...) Here goes... **---------------------------------------------------------------** Few years ago, I visited the SICOB, a place in Paris where vendors expose their new machines, softwares, ... And I saw it: the A2000 with the bridgeboard. It is possible, now, to have fun with parallel computing on a micro computer ! The technical manager did a demo for me, of 2 programs exchanging messages from both machines (Amiga & PC). He told me that those programs were given with the whole package. So I spend all my money in this "bi-machine". But nothing like that inside. Absolutly no information that a developer would expect. To have that, you have to be a "registred Commodore France developer"! And you HAVE to pay for that... So I'm trying today, and it is a real brain storming for me, to get those informations from you, in the Shakespear's langage... But, here are my questions : 1> I read in an old technical reference manual that a link library called "jlib.lib" exists (or meaby I can do one if I can find a jlib.fd ?) Could anyone tell me where, or better mail it to me ? 2> Same questions about the include files (either for Amiga and PC sides). 3> And finally, the examples I mentionned above ? My purpose is to write a server running on Amiga and a device driver on PC to make df0: running as B: for PC. But maybe does it already exist ? For that, I need as well the sources of trackdisk.device or something like that (or an equivalent to dos-2-dos) that where, I think, in appendix k of the even older ROM kernel manual 1.1 ... If anyone can help, or give me any suggestion, you're welcome to mail me at Thanks, Fred. **---------------------------------------------------------------** - Evan
