Thanks for the information Clive, but you forgot to mention that the routine
should exit with

LDMFD R13!,{PC}

which caused me a few problems ;-)

If anyone's interested I've got it working. I hacked the Free module, replacing
SCSI calls with IDE calls, and also changing the filing system number (which
was why it didn't work before). I also hacked the RISC Development's IDEfiler
module, so that it ran Showfree rather than Free.

The alterations are really quite simple, only four words needed to be changed
in the Free module, and one word, with some stuff tacked onto the end of the
IDEFSfiler module. If anyone's interested I can send more details (I don't
think posting the hacked modules is a copyright-friendly idea).

Paul.
