You can buy that book, and you don't have to be a developer to do so. (I have it, and I'm not a developer, simply a curious, techno-weenie user.) The cost of the book was $40US when I bought it; I don't think that's changed since I bought it. You do have to buy it directly from CATS, though; it's not available in the stores (that I know of). The documentation is there regarding the janus.library, but I don't know if what you're looking for is there. Since I don't have a BridgeBoard, I've not been very interested in it. The Technical Reference also has the schematics for all the Amigas but the A3000s. This is a *real* hardware manual, as opposed to the RKM Hardware Manual, which is more of a register-level programming guide (kind of a "soft hardware manual"). The address I have on file for CATS is CATS-Orders 1200 Wilson Drive West Chester, PA 19380 Hope this helps. [tm] --dds "The trackdisk's track seeks to seek | Dale D.
